Dear friends in Scouting,
As part of the upcoming 17th Interamerican Jamboree and 4th Scout Camporee (JamCam 2025), we share key information regarding participation requirements, registration categories, fees, and important dates. This event will bring together young participants from across the Interamerican Region, promoting the 'Americas united for peace' through learning, fellowship, and the development of skills in an environment of cooperation.
Participation requirements
All participants in JamCam 2025 must be registered with a National Scout Organisation (NSO) recognised by the World Organisation of the Scout Movement (WOSM). In countries with multiple associations, they must organise as a single contingent.

- Contingent Management Team (CMT):
- Exclusively composed of adults supporting the organisation of the contingent.
