A jamboree is a large gathering of Scouts — sometimes tens of thousands — from across a region, nation, or the entire world. Attending a jamboree is a once-in-a-lifetime Scouting experience.

National Jamboree

The National Scout Jamboree is held every four years at the Summit Bechtel Reserve in West Virginia — a world-class facility with zip lines, bouldering walls, white-water rafting, mountain biking, and more.

World Scout Jamboree

Held every four years in a different country, the World Jamboree brings together Scouts from all 170 member nations of WOSM. It is a profound experience in international friendship and cultural exchange.
