National Jamboree 2026

Rather than planning a Troop 541 high adventure trip for 2026, we're encouraging participation in the National Jamboree July 22-31, 2026 at the Summit Bechtel Reserve in West Virginia. Activities at the Summit include BMX biking, kayaking, whitewater rafting, climbing, shooting sports and even a 3/4 mile zip line.

There's more information and a video on the Cradle of Liberty Council Jamboree Page.

The cost is $2,300 which includes the National Jamboree fee, as well as transportation, Council shirts and patches, and some other equipment. If you need financial assistance, you can look into a National Jamboree Scholarship. Payment should be made in accordance with the table below. Registration is already open.

If you will be 12 years old but not yet 18 on July 21, 2026, you are eligible to participate. Our Council's Jamboree troop for girls will include other Scouts from the Cradle of Liberty Council, and there are only 36 spots available, so it will fill up quickly.

To register, have a parent go to the Council Registration Page, enter the information, and sign you up. A $500 payment will be required at that time. Please be sure to notify our Scoutmaster right away once you've done that.
