Dear Adult Leaders in a Troop, Crew, or Ship,

As we reflect on the success of our last National Jamboree, I want to extend our heartfelt thanks for partnerships with our units in sending Scouts on a remarkable journey filled with lasting memories. Your commitment is instrumental in providing these enriching experiences and opportunities to our youth.

We are now excitedly preparing for the 2026 National Jamboree which will be held at The Summit Bechtel Reserve from July 22-31, 2026, and wanted to share some important updates and opportunities with you:

Adult Leadership Opportunities: We are currently selecting leadership for the 2026 National Jamboree, with interviews scheduled for March. If you or any leaders in your unit are interested in applying for a leadership position, we encourage applying as soon as possible. The application is available online at: https://247scouting.com/forms/358-26jamboadult. Please feel free to share this with leadership who might be interested.

Scout Registration: Registration for Scouts to attend the 2026 National Jamboree is now open. Scouts from the same units are encouraged to sign up early and together to help the committee organize contingent units. Scouts who sign up early will also be able to influence the council shoulder patch design.  Families can register their Scouts now to also take advantage of a flexible payment plan, spreading out the cost from now until the Jamboree. This is a fantastic event for Scouts to create lasting memories and develop valuable skills. Registration and more information are found at: https://ppcscouting.org/2026jambo.

Unit Presentations: To help generate excitement and provide detailed information about the Jamboree, we are offering unit presentations. If you have already scheduled a presentation, thank you. If not, we encourage you to schedule one soon by visiting https://247scouting.com/forms/358-jambopromo. These presentations are an excellent way to build enthusiasm for the Jamboree.

We deeply appreciate your continued support and partnership in making the National Jamboree and Scouting a part of everyday life. If you have any questions or looking for further information, please do not hesitate to contact us.

Yours in Scouting,

Matt
