These Scouting supporters kick the Jamboree up a notch 

Every four years, adventure and entertainment define the Scouting America National Jamboree. Volunteers and thousands of Scouts make that possible at Summit Bechtel Reserve. 

But there are others who play a huge part in the experience — Scouting America’s partners and sponsors. Besides offering year-round support of the movement, they bring engaging exhibits and allow Scouts and Scouters to explore new technology, test the latest gear, learn about career pathways and enjoy hands-on learning opportunities. 

Scouting America is proud to introduce and offer information about some of the Gold and Silver sponsors that helped make the 2026 National Jamboree even more exceptional.

Gold Sponsors 

Go RVing 

When you go RVing, you’re free to explore, roam and to get closer to nature — you can foster truer connections with loved ones and create a new community wherever you park. And the comforts of home accompany you as you wander. It’s your path, your plan and your place. Go RVing is committed to providing tailored resources that introduce Scouts to RV travel and outdoor exploration. These resources will support programming aligned with the Exploration merit badge. Did you see the America Extravaganza Fireworks Display on Sunday? Go RVing provided support for that event, further contributing to the celebration and sense of community at the Jamboree.

The Hope Gas exhibit features a trailer where Scouts enjoy a hands-on learning experience fusing gas pipes together.

U.S. Army 

For nearly 250 years, the U.S. Army has helped shape generations of Americans through a commitment to service, leadership, teamwork and personal growth. Those same values are at the heart of Scouting America, making the Army a natural partner for the 2026 National Jamboree. As one of the nation’s most respected institutions, the U.S. Army offers young people opportunities to challenge themselves, develop valuable skills and serve something greater than themselves.

At this exhibit, Scouts learn what it’s like to fly Black Hawk, Apache and other helicopters using the Army’s simulators.

U.S. Navy 

The United States is a maritime nation, and the U.S. Navy protects America at sea. Alongside our allies and partners, we defend freedom, preserve economic prosperity, and keep the seas open and free.

Using simulators, Scouts can execute a dive to inspect underwater welding work and fly an MV-22 Osprey.

U.S. Coast Guard 

The United States Coast Guard is a unique multi-mission branch of the U.S. armed forces and the only military service housed within the Department of Homeland Security during peacetime. Its primary responsibilities include maritime safety, security, and environmental stewardship, often serving as the nation’s first responder on the water for search and rescue operations.

Scouts suit up to simulate plugging holes and patching pipes to prevent a flood in the Damage Control Wet Trainer.

Silver Sponsors 

National Guard 

The Army National Guard serves both community and country. Guard Soldiers respond to domestic emergencies, support reconstruction missions and assist with counterdrug efforts, all while serving close to home. Through part-time service, students can attend college full-time, gain future-ready skills, and make a direct impact in their local community.

Re-Lyte is made by Redmond, the same company that is behind Redmond Real Salt. They’ve been in the salt business since 1958, mining from an ancient Jurassic-era seabed in Utah. Redmond creates simple, clean and real products that elevate human experience in the body, heart, mind and spirit.
