ALAUX 030/26 Subj: SOLICITATION FOR VOLUNTEERS TO SUPPORT THE COAST GUARD NATIONAL SCOUT JAMBOREE TASK FORCE – USCG AUXILIARY EAST DISTRICT NORTHERN REGION

1. The recently released ALCOAST 158/26 solicits volunteers to support various aspects of the National Scout Jamboree (NSJ) scheduled for July 22-31, 2026, at the Bechtel Summit Reserve in Beckley, West Virginia. Coast Guard Auxiliarists are authorized to be assigned to duty to participate.

2. This high-visibility event presents a great opportunity for the Coast Guard to educate and inform a target audience of future leaders from around the nation about the Coast Guard’s missions and objectives. The NSJ brings together male and female Scouts, and adult leaders for training and outdoor adventures and experiences. Scout attendance is expected to exceed 40,000, with up to an additional 40,000 daily visitors. During previous Jamborees, the Coast Guard’s exhibit required 80-100 active duty, reserve, civilian, Auxiliary, and retired volunteers.

3. Auxiliarists interested in participating should read ALCOAST 158/26 for important details about the event and how to apply for it. ALCOAST 158/26 is attached and can also be found at: ALCOAST (uscg.mil).

4. An Auxiliarist, regardless of organizational level at which they may hold an elected or appointed office, must first route their email application to their Flotilla Commander (FC) for awareness and endorsement (an FC must first route their own email application to their Division Commander (DCDR)). The FC or DCDR must then route applications to the District Director of Auxiliary (DIRAUX) for awareness and endorsement. The DIRAUX will then forward the application to the NSJ coordinator identified in ALCOAST 158/26.

5. Internet release is authorized.
