About this Event

Jamboree is more than a destination. It’s the adventure of lifetime. And there is simply nothing else like it on the planet.

What’s a Jamboree? It’s not camp. National Jamboree is 360-degrees of fun, friends and fellowship with hands-on adventure that takes you places you never thought you’d go and challenge you to try things you never thought you could.

It’s the beginning of your own heroes’ journey that will challenge you to go farther than you ever thought possible. You’ll reach deeper and lift yourself higher to become the best version of yourself.

Registration Information

Registration for every Jamboree participant must also be completed through the Jamboree website at https://jamboree.scouting.org/.

This is in addition to completing the Illowa Council Contingent registration in your Tentaroo account. This is where your Jamboree payments will be taken and tracked.
