ABOUT THE JAMBOREE:
The National Jamboree is the largest outdoor educational event organized by the Boy Scouts of America. Held every four years, the Jamboree offers a program of educational and training events; high adventure activities; tests of strength and endurance; entertainment, and comradery with fellow Scouts from around the nation.

2023 will be the first National Jamboree to include ScoutsBSA female participants. Boy Scouts were renamed to ScoutsBSA with the introduction of female participants in 2019.

The National Jamboree is the best of Scouting rolled into 10 days of friends, fun and adventure. Held in the wilds of West Virginia, the Summit Bechtel Reserve is a training, Scouting, and adventure center for the millions of youths and adults involved in the Boy Scouts of America and anyone who loves the outdoors.

Bordering the New River Gorge National Park, the site also serves as the permanent home for the Boy Scouts of America’s National Jamborees and features more than 14,000 acres of excitement and once-in-a-lifetime experiences that will help attendees “Live Scouting’s Adventure.”

ABOUT THE LEADERSHIP HEIGHTS PROGRAM:
The Leadership Heights Program helps Scouts take their leadership to all-new heights through four components: Launch, Experiences, Speaker Series, and Elevate. After gathering in Summit Center and then hiking to the J.W. Marriott, Jr. Leadership Center, Scouts will engage in a series of interactive experiences that test their leadership, communication, and team-building skills.

Compelling speakers who are prominent leaders from different industries, nonprofits, universities, and the military will help shape a Scout’s understanding and appreciation for leading and leadership. The experience is topped off by Elevate, an immersive experience that will challenge Scouts and ask for their commitment to lead our world ‘forward.'
