National Jamboree
National Jamboree
An epic 10-day event held once every four years where youth experience world-class outdoor adventure, learn new skills, build new things, and engage in connective brand experiences.
- The National Jamboree, Scouting America’s flagship national event, is an epic 10-day event that takes place once every four years at the world-renowned Summit Bechtel Reserve. The Jamboree is intentionally designed to bring 15,000+ youth together to focus on leadership, citizenship, personal fitness, and adventure while fostering thought-provoking conversations that will move our society forward. For over a decade, this 14,000-acre property has hosted Jamborees, youth camps, major performances, athletic competitions, and motor sports events. Jamboree programs include leadership, high and low adventure, team sports, college/trades/career finding, diversity and inclusion spaces, robust STEAM activities, technology and innovation, merit badge activities, product sampling and sales, speaking engagements, physical and mental wellness strategies, and (of course) patch trading. Sponsorship of the Jamboree provides your organization a unique platform to showcase products and services to ~20,000 onsite guests and to a potential expanded audience of more than two million other members and stakeholders.
