Scouting in the Lutheran Church

How can your congregation best use the tools of the Scouting program? The National Lutheran Association on Scouting (NLAS) is hosting a volunteer training conference at the iconic Philmont Scout Ranch in New Mexico to address that very topic. This year, we’ve also included sessions on staffing the 2026 National Jamboree.

In addition . . . it’s the Philmont Training Center’s 75th anniversary!

Held every 3 years since 1980, the LCMS Youth Gathering provides thousands of youth and adults the opportunity to come together as a community of God’s people to be encouraged in their walk with Jesus Christ and learn about the Christian faith and their Lutheran identity.

The Gathering provides young people a vision for the vastness of Christ’s Church and equips them for vocational service as they continue their walk with Jesus.

What’s a Jamboree? It’s not camp. National Jamboree is 360-degrees of fun, friends and fellowship with hands-on adventure that takes you places you never thought you’d go and challenge you to try things you never thought you could.
It’s the beginning of your own heroes’ journey that will challenge you to go farther than you ever thought possible. You’ll reach deeper and lift yourself higher to become the best version of yourself.
