Program

Sustainability

The Sustainability Treehouse is a living education center for visitors to the Summit Bechtel Reserve, not only providing information, but also immersing visitors in the concept of sustainability. Between the local timber used to build the structure, the rainwater recovery system, and the wind and solar generated energy, stream restoration, recycling and geothermal heat are just a few examples of the additional sustainability efforts practiced at the Summit.[5]

Global Development Village

At the Global Development Village, Scouts will have the opportunity to learn about global issues and how Scouting can help provide a solution. Many organizations will be on site from across the globe to showcase how Scouts can take what they learn at the jamboree and translate that into helping in their home country.[6]

Faith and Beliefs

The Faith and Beliefs zone is an area where Scouts can learn about the different religions of the world and their history and support of Scouting. Jamboree participants will also have the opportunity to participate in a religious service according to their own custom and traditions.[6]

Cultural Experience Day

Scouts will have the opportunity to share their culture with other Scouts of the world through, music, dance, games, food and more.[6]

Daily Events/Ceremonies

During the jamboree, Scouts will have the opportunity to witness and participate in many special activities, starting each morning with a flag raising ceremony, special jamboree guests, musical performances, aircraft flyovers, and campfires.[6]

Stadium Experience

The opening and closing shows will take place in the AT&T Summit Stadium, to showcase the best of Scouting.[6]

Season of Service

The Season of Service, supported by the World Organization of the Scout Movement (WOSM), will give every Scout the opportunity to be involved in community service and to share their experiences with others, starting on 1 June 2019 and continuing until 21 July 2019, when the 24th World Scout Jamboree begins.[6]
