24th World Scout Jamboree

Day Visitors

We welcome day visitors to sample the experience of daily jamboree life at the 24th World Scout Jamboree, to be held 22 July – 2 August 2019, at the Summit Bechtel Reserve in West Virginia, USA.

Day visitors are an important part of the jamboree program and experience. Many visitors will have a connection to Scouting or the local community, and so they will be eager to see the jamboree in action.

The 24th World Scout Jamboree welcomes you to join the joy, adventure, and fellowship of the jamboree as a day visitor. Visitor access will be limited each day to ensure a positive experience for all participants. To avoid disappointment, advance purchase of day visitor passes is strongly recommended.

Arriving at the World Scout Jamboree

Day visitors will begin their jamboree experience at the J.W. and Hazel Ruby West Virginia Welcome Center, located at 55 Hazel Ruby Lane, Mt Hope, WV 25880. All day visitors will park at the Ruby Welcome Center and board motor coaches that will take you into the jamboree and return you to the Ruby Welcome Center at the end of the day. Visitors will be issued a wristband which will allow you to board the motor coach following a brief check-in process and security screening.  Each motor coach will have a member of the Guest Services staff who will share important and useful information to make your Jamboree visit enjoyable.

Tickets will be available for sale at the Welcome Center if you haven’t purchased tickets ahead of your visit. However, the number of visitors will be limited each day, and advance reservations are strongly encouraged to avoid disappointment.

What can visitors see?

Visitors are able to move freely through the 100 acres (40.5 hectares) of Scott Summit Center—stretching from the CONSOL Energy Bridge to the Goodrich Lake dam. This area is the heart of the jamboree and includes rich programming, engaging exhibits, and opportunities for cultural exchanges.

Visitors have full access to the Global Development Village, the Sustainability Treehouse, World Scout Center, International Food Houses (food for purchase), and Centro Mondial. They will also be able to see the exciting adventure programs of Action Point, trade items with those of the same age group, and participate in guided tours. Information booths can help make these opportunities clear and available.

Day visitors will have the opportunity to visit:

While there will be plenty for day visitors to do, aerial sports, climbing walls, skate parks, biking, and other adventure programs are reserved for jamboree participants. Guests will not be able to visit base camps, Scout living areas, or adventure zone areas. This is strictly enforced. Please follow the directions of security staff.
