Camping and Outdoor Programs
Camping is at the heart of the Scouting program. The Arbuckle Area Council prides itself on its camping program. Activities include everything from day and weekend camps, unit and family campouts, to long-term camps and high adventure trips.
2026 National Scout Jamboree
Jamboree is more than a destination. It’s the adventure of lifetime. And there is simply nothing else like it on the planet.
What’s a Jamboree? It’s not camp. National Jamboree is 360-degrees of fun, friends and fellowship with hands-on adventure that takes you places you never thought you’d go and challenge you to try things you never thought you could.
It’s the beginning of your own heroes’ journey that will challenge you to go farther than you ever thought possible. You’ll reach deeper and lift yourself higher to become the best version of yourself.
The next National Jamboree will be held at Summit Bechtel Reserve from July 22-31, 2026.
The Cherokee Area Council #469 has reserved a troop at the National Jamboree in 2026. This is a combined contingent with the Arbuckle Area Council. There are 40 youth slots to fill and the contingent will have 8 adult advisors.
