Jamboree Adult Leader Qualifications:

  • Preference will be given to those who have experience as a registered Scoutmaster or Assistant Scoutmaster for at least one year.  Troop committee members may also apply.
  • Have a firm understanding of the "patrol method" and be able to implement it.
  • Be a positive role model for Scouts and other adult leaders.
  • Be able to attend all scheduled Jamboree contingent meetings and Jamboree troop meetings.
  • Be able to attend the entire Jamboree experience with the contingent.
  • Be current in Youth Protection Training and be trained for your position in Scouting.
  • Must complete an interview conducted by the Mountaineer Area Council's adult selection committee.
  • Must maintain a current registration in the Mountaineer Area Council and be approved by the Scout Executive.
  • Must meet all physical qualifications set by the National Scout Jamboree and have a completed Annual Health & Medical Record.

Due to troop capacities and a priority for youth to attend the National Jamboree, adults attending are not guaranteed to be in the same troop as their son/daughter.  The contingent will make every effort to accommodate parents to be with their children.

If you have any questions or comments, please contact the Mountaineer Area Council at jamboree@macbsa.org or 304-366-3940.

Interviews will occur on a rolling basis as applications are submitted with the goal of selecting all adult positions by mid-2022.  Once selected, adult leaders will be expected to make their registration deposit of $200 and meet all payment deadlines.
