Key Dates: Tentatively, we will fly out July 18, 2026 and see some sights at our Nation’s capital before arriving at the Summit with 20,000+ other Scouters from across the world. The National Jamboree in 2026 will be from Wednesday, July 22 through Friday, July 31 at the Summit Bechtel Family National Scout Reserve (The Summit). We plan on returning to Minnesota on July 31. Participants should expect to walk up to 10 miles daily. In spring of 2026, we will have multiple mandatory weekend shakedown trips to create our blended Northern Star units. We will bring youth from across Minnesota and Wisconsin to create units.
