Antron Brown will visit the 2026 Scouting America National Jamboree in West Virginia this week to speak with Scouts and deliver a keynote address at the national scout jamboree. The appearance puts a four-time NHRA Top Fuel world champion in front of Scouts at the Summit Bechtel Reserve in Glen Jean, W.Va., during the July 22-31 event.
Brown said, "I'm looking forward to going to the Scouting Jamboree to spend time with the Scouts and help motivate them." He also said, "We'll talk about leadership, integrity, and the determination it takes to chase your dreams," and added, "I want every Scout to leave knowing that with hard work, the right attitude, and a willingness to keep pushing forward, anything is possible."
Summit Bechtel Reserve in Glen Jean
The Scouting America National Jamboree is held every four years and brings together Scouts from across the country and around the world. This year's event is set to focus on adventure, personal growth, lifelong friendships, outdoor adventures, leadership development, and hands-on experiences, with Brown scheduled to meet Scouts during the week.
Scouts will also get an up-close look at the 12,000-horsepower Matco Tools Eagle Experience Top Fuel dragster. Brown has more than 80 NHRA national event victories, and his visit gives the jamboree a national champion speaking directly to the people it is designed to reach.
Eduardo Casas on Brown
Eduardo Casas, Scouting America Multicultural Engagement director, said, "Antron is a great example of the values and qualities that exemplify Scouting." Casas also said, "We are grateful for his commitment to Scouting and taking time during the racing season to attend the 2026 Scouting America Jamboree."
Brown's attendance falls during the racing season, so the trip takes time away from competition. For Scouts at the 2026 Scouting America National Jamboree, the immediate payoff is direct access to a driver who can speak about leadership and persistence in person at the Summit Bechtel Reserve.
