2021 National Jamboree staff registration opens, with bonus for first 2,021 to apply
Don’t just experience the National Jamboree. Bring it to life.
Applications are now being accepted to serve on staff at the 2021 National Jamboree, coming July 2021 to the BSA’s adventure-packed Summit Bechtel Reserve in West Virginia.
The first 2,021 people who sign up and pay their deposit to serve on staff, now known as the Jamboree Service Team, will receive the limited-edition “Challenge Accepted!” patch seen above.
The new “Jamboree Service Team” name is meant to underline the unified approach to Jamboree staff in 2021 and beyond, says National Jamboree Director Dan Busby.
“No matter the capacity that you serve on staff — youth, adult, volunteer, exhibitor, paid BSA employee, etc. — it is our desire to convey that participants are our customer and we want them to have the best Jamboree experience ever,” Busby says.
What kind of Jamboree Service Team position is the right fit for you? Your Jamboree role might match your vocational expertise, skills or simply your desire to positively impact Scouts and guests attending Scouting’s premier celebration.
You’ll find JST openings in program, medical, logistics, operations and administrative areas.
