Jamboree Stadium Shows

July 22, 2017

The Opening Show at the AT&T Summit Stadium will be your Scouts’ first taste of how epic the 2017 National Scout Jamboree is going to be. This event, taking place on Saturday, July 22, will be an opportunity for your Troop, Crew, and Contingent to showcase your local pride by coming dressed in flair specific to your council or area. We invite you to ask your youth leadership to brainstorm some ideas of “flair apparel” items to wear that show a strong representation for council. (from Jamboree website)

Stadium shows have become a tradition at the Jamboree, and have featured a variety of known and unknown performers (depending on your age!)

At the 2017 Jamboree the The Opening Show “Celebration” is on Saturday Evening- July 22, the middle show “Fellowship & Service” Monday evening- July 24, and the closing show “Farewell” Thursday evening- July 27.
