Scheduled on three different evenings, the Stadium Shows, located in the AT&T Summit Stadium, will bring wonder and excitement to jamboree attendees with a mix of music, theatrics, and a few surprises. The shows are the highlights of the World Scout Jamboree, and where you will likely catch a glimpse of famous musicians, dignitaries, and leaders from around the world. Each of the Stadium Shows will be livestreamed globally so that they can be shared with the global Scouting community!

Opening Show
Tuesday, 23 July 2019 | 7:30pm EST
Welcome your fellow Scouts from around the world at the first of three major shows in the AT&T Summit Stadium! While we don’t want to give away all of the surprises that will ring in the 24th World Scout Jamboree with a bang, we can indeed promise that you will be celebrating in style. Through entertainment, opening ceremonies, and a keynote speaker sure to inspire, the Jamboree will open in grand fashion and challenge you to unlock adventure in the days to come.
Unity Show
Friday, 26 July, 2019 | 8:00pm EST
Capping off a day of cultural celebrations, the Unity Show invites participants of the Jamboree to unlock the secrets of bringing different people together for a common purpose. Respect, openness, and the courage to share with one another our personal and sacred stories will be put into practice and culminate in cherished sense of fellowship often felt when gathered around the campfire.
Closing Show
Thursday, 1 August, 2019 | 8:00pm EST
End the Jamboree with a party! As we prepare to return to our respective homes, the final show will challenge us all to take the keys of unity that we have discovered during the jamboree and take them to unlock the world. Don’t miss the entertainment, excitement, and a challenge to each Scout that will inspire us until we meet again.

Tours will begin roughly every 15 minutes and they will last, depending upon what is happening on stage to prepare, from 20-30 minutes. Last tour leaves a half hour before closing.

Basecamp Bashes
On evenings where there is no Stadium Show, the action comes to the base camps for a spectacular, high-energy experience, that is one-part concert / one-part dance-party, with enough energy, diversity, and fun to rival any single other jamboree event. Youth from all National Scout Organizations are invited to be a part of these new festival-like events.
Basecamp Bashes pump music through a massive sound system, and all the on-stage action is captured live by cameras and shown on big screen videoboards – everyone in the camp is going to see and hear all the action!. Speaking of action, be sure look above your head for the shots of our t-shirt cannons, launching WSJ2019 swag into the crowd, delivered to you by the Rover Brigade out and about in the audience! Lights, friends, fellowship…you won’t want to miss the Base Camp Bashes!
How to prepare for the Basecamp Bash:
- Dress for the weather
- Bring your own hydration
- No food will be available
- See your subcamp bulletins for more detailed information
