Unit Campsite Configuration
Units will bring their own tents to the 2023 National Jamboree. The Summit Bechtel Reserve Campsite set-ups may have perimeter swale and must maintain a fire lane. Each unit must stay with their campsite configuration. As a reference: Past Jamborees had 22 – 9’x9.5’ floor diameters in their layout.

Be mindful that your unit will want to bring tent repair kits and possibly additional tents due to weather conditions that occur in West Virginia.
