2017 National Jamboree

Reservations are now being accepted for the 2017 National Jamboree -- a once-in-a-lifetime, action-packed event. You must register by March 15th, 2016. This may seem early, but it's not: it's a highly competitive process to get on to the Council's Jamboree troop and we have over a year of training and fundraisers ahead of us.

Our troop roster is already half full!

For Registration information visit www.BSAJamboree.org

When you've completed the online registration process, print your confirmation, and send it - along with a $200 deposit - to the Iroquois Trail Council at our Batavia Service Center.

Reservations are made on a first-come, first-served basis. There will be a waiting list in place, so don't be discouraged if you don't make the initial cut.

WHO CAN ATTEND?

Attendees must be at least First Class Scouts at the start of the Jamboree and registered with a Boy Scout Troop or Venturing Crew

You must be at least 12 years old by the 1st day of the Jamboree or an 11 year-old who has completed 6th grade, but has not reached his 18th birthday prior to the last day of the Jamboree. This age bracket includes many of our current Webelos 1 Scouts.

You must be approved by your local troop or crew leader and the Council

EARN YOUR WAY TO THE JAMBOREE

The total cost for the Jamboree is projected to be $1,750-$1,850, which includes travel to & from and a pre-Jamboree side trip. That might seem like a difficult obstacle. Don't worry! We'll offer you plenty of ways to earn your way to the Jamboree with candy sales, popcorn sales, a bike-a-thon and more!
