To keep you as a National Jamboree Council Contingent Participant informed, please review the note, National Jamboree website address and email address below, and the attachment.
The National BSA Jamboree Executive Leadership team determined it was a priority to communicate the event postponement. They are working to get refund details to Councils and Jamboree Service Team members as soon as all options can be made available. We will communicate with all participants as soon as we get more information. The FAQ was developed to help answer preliminary questions (find them online), and we will keep you posted on our progress through direct communications and at https://jamboree.scouting.org. Questions can be directed to the National Jamboree team at 2021Jamboree@Scouting.org.
We will send another communication as soon as we get more information.
Thank you for planning to participate in the 2021 National Jamboree.
Scouting’s flagship event is one-of-a-kind. It’s a gathering of approximately 40,000 Scouts, leaders, and staff that showcases everything that is great about the BSA and its members. Over the course of 10 summer days, once every four years, the Boy Scouts of America comes together. The result is the national Scout jamboree.
Scouts and Scouters will explore all kinds of adventures—stadium shows, pioneer village, Garden Ground hikes, adventure sports, patch trading, and more—in the heart of one of nature’s greatest playgrounds. With 10,000 acres at the Summit to explore, there’s no shortage of opportunities to build Scouting memories.
Bay Area Council will be sending a contingent of 110 Scouts to the National Jamboree in July of 2021.
HIGHLIGHTS:
- National Jamboree - Graceland/Dollywood trip - Whitewater rafting

Philmont
Born in 1938 as Philturn Rockymountain Scoutcamp, today’s Philmont Scout Ranch is a bustling center for high adventure and training. Philmont Scout Ranch is the Boy Scouts of America’s oldest national high-adventure base. Its 34 staffed camps and 55 trail camps provide an unforgettable adventure in the high country along hundreds of miles of rugged, rocky trails. The area surrounding the ranch is rich with history, from the Native Americans who made this arid land their home to the land barons of the 19th century. The town of Cimarron boasts a number of historical buildings, including the St. James Hotel—site of at least 26 killings during Cimarron’s wilder days. Visit PHILMONT SCOUT RANCH.
