Scouting’s flagship event is one-of-a-kind. It’s a gathering of approximately 45,000 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.

Here are a few quick details about the 2023 National Jamboree:

Age to attend – Youth and Adult Participants must be atleast 12 years old on the day the jamboree starts, but not older than 20 years old the day the jamboree ends. Adults 21 and older will attend as leaders.

COL Contingent Cost –

$2,050 – if registered by October 31, 2022

$2,265 – if registered November 1, 2022 or later

Cost includes the National Jamboree fee (price increases by $215 on Nov. 1), as well as transportation, tent, Council shirts and patches, and other equipment for a safe and fun experience.

Campership Information

We want the Jamboree to be an option for all Scouts who are interested regardless of their financial situation. There are two ways for those struggling to afford the Jamboree to get Camperships:

1. From the National Jamboree – this option is available in your registration portal but expires July 31, so be sure to make a request soon!
2. From the Cradle of Liberty Council – limited Camperships are available to COL Jamboree Contingent members, and an official form will be made available once troops are formed in the Fall.
