Council Contingent Staff Option for the 2026 National Jamboree
Councils now have an exciting new option to enhance their Jamboree experience! In addition to the required two or four contingent leaders, councils may register additional adults to serve as Council Contingent Staff for the 2026 National Jamboree.
These adults (21 years or older) will play a dual role—supporting Jamboree operations during the day while remaining embedded with their contingent in the evenings. This is a great opportunity for adults who want to contribute to the success of the Jamboree while staying connected to their local youth.
