Scouting’s next big adventure is on the way! Stay tuned for all the Jamboree details.

The next National Jamboree will be July 19-28, 2023 at the Summit! As the National Jamboree winds down, about 500 US Scouts will be touring in Korea before the 25th World Scout Jamboree starts on August 1st.

Think of the possibilities for keeping up with the fun at both places! The time difference is 14 hours, when it is 7pm at the Summit it is 9am in Korea. Imagine having your breakfast in Korea and then watching and virtually being a part of the closing show at the Summit!

National and World Jamborees are events participants will remember forever. The BSA planning teams for both events hope to make it possible for those who want to participate in both to do so. How many folks can say they did both a National Jamboree and a World Jamboree in 25 days?

Whether you are hoping to attend the National Jamboree, World Jamboree, or both, we can't wait to see you in 2023 for what is sure to be an awesome adventure! ⚜⚜
