National Jamboree is now open for registration

March 15, 2022

• The National Jamboree is an official event by the National Council of the Boy Scout of America. From their website: “What’s a Jamboree? It’s not camp. National Jamboree is 360-degrees of fun, friends and fellowship with hands-on adventure that takes you places you never thought you’d go and challenge you to try things you never thought you could.” This year’s jamboree will take place on July 19-28, 2023. The cost for attending is approximately $2100, and you can register on their website. For more information, visit the National Jamboree website (linked above) and this page from the Lake Erie council. We will not be going as a troop, but individuals can register.

Fun fact: A jamboree is defined as “a large celebration or party, typically a lavish and boisterous one.”
