How: To register for the Mohegan Council Jamboree troop visit www.bsajamboree.org and click "Register Now". You will need your BSA membership number (found at the bottom of your membership card) and credit card for the $10 registration fee.

Once you have completed the registration process you will need to have your Scoutmaster sign the form you will be given and return it to the Mohegan Council office with a $100 deposit. This process does not guarantee you a spot, but allows you to be considered for placement one of the two troops that Mohegan Council will send to the National Jamboree.

The total estimated cost for youth participants will be $1700. This fee includes transportation, meals and lodging en route to and from the Jamboree, special patches and neckerchief, patrol and troop equipment, a Jamboree training weekend, and tour days on the way to the Jamboree.
