Our three countries are getting ready to welcome our Scouting friends
as family to experience the theme for the 2019 World Scout Jamboree,
“Unlock a New World.” This theme speaks to the new adventures, cultures,
and friendships that will be shared by Scouts from around the world
during the 12-day event.
The 24th World Scout Jamboree will feature the hallmarks of past world
jamboree programs, such as the Global Development Village, the World
Scout Centre, a special sustainability initiative, and the socialization
elements that allow participants to make lifelong friends from around
the world.
24th World Scout Jamboree is being held at the Summit Bechtel
Reserve, the most advanced adventure camping base for youth in the
world. Activities venues include The Rocks, one of the largest man-made
climbing facilities in the world; The Park, one of the largest outdoor
skateboarding facilities in the world; and The Trax, one of the largest
BMX bike facilities in the world. Add in three man-made lakes and
several pools that offer a variety of aquatics activities, and you can
start to get an idea of how unique this jamboree will be for its
participants.
Unlike any other youth event, the world Scout jamboree invites you to
surround yourself in the cultures of the world by joining your new
Scouting friends at a single destination for 12 unforgettable days.

The 2019 World Scout Jamboree begins with arrivals on Monday, July 22, 2019. The first meal planned is dinner on July 22. The jamboree ends with departures on Friday, August 2, 2019. The last meal planned is breakfast on August 2.
The logo for the 24th World Scout Jamboree represents the friendship
and unity of world Scouting. The globe-shaped design consists of
multicolored ribbons featuring the official colors of the national flags
of the three host countries and the purple of the world Scouting
movement. The logo symbolizes North America reaching out to welcome the
world community of Scouting to the 24th World Scout Jamboree. In addition, as the jamboree is an official event of the World
Organization of the Scout Movement (WOSM), the World Crest is featured.
