REGISTERING AND APPLYING FOR THE NATIONAL JAMBOREE
Registering for the 2023 National Scout Jamboree is a two-step process. You register with the Pathway to Adventure Council website to pay your Jamboree fees. You apply to the National Scout Jamboree website to attend the Jamboree. Your application/registration process is not complete until you register on the PTAC website submit and your application on the National website.
Scouts and Venturers from across the Pathway to Adventure Council register for the Jamboree as individuals. In September 2022, Scouts and Venturers will be allocated to troops and crews based on the Scout’s and Venturers geographic location. This allows Scouts and Venturers from the same troop or crew and neighboring troops and crews to come together to form contingent troops and crews. Contingent troops and crews consist of 40 participants, 36 youth, and four adult leaders.
