IMPORTANT: Jamboree registration is INDIVIDUAL. This is not a Troop organized event. Scouts register and pay NCAC DIRECTLY on the NCAC website. Participants are advised to visit the NCAC website and the National Website regularly to keep up on complete event details. Program information will come from Council… not the Troop.
HIGHLIGHTS:
- ATTENDANCE – If you plan to attend the National Jamboree, please let us know.
