Four-time NHRA Top Fuel world champion Antron Brown will trade the dragstrip for the mountains of West Virginia this week when he visits the 2026 Scouting America National Jamboree, where he will share his journey and encourage thousands of Scouts to chase their dreams through leadership, integrity and perseverance.
As a proud Scouting America partner, Brown will spend time with Scouts throughout the event, sharing the values that have guided him to four Top Fuel world championships and more than 80 NHRA national event victories. He will also deliver a keynote address, drawing on his experiences on and off the racetrack to inspire the next generation to embrace challenges, lead with integrity and never stop working toward their goals.
“I’m looking forward to going to the Scouting Jamboree to spend time with the Scouts and help motivate them,” Brown said. “We’ll talk about leadership, integrity and the determination it takes to chase your dreams. I want every Scout to leave knowing that with hard work, the right attitude and a willingness to keep pushing forward, anything is possible.”
Held every four years, the Scouting America National Jamboree brings together Scouts from across the country and around the world for an unforgettable experience focused on adventure, personal growth and lifelong friendships. This year’s event, taking place July 22-31 at the Summit Bechtel Reserve in Glen Jean, West Virginia, will challenge participants through outdoor adventures, leadership development and hands-on experiences unlike any other Scouting event.
“Antron is a great example of the values and qualities that exemplify Scouting,” said Eduardo Casas, Scouting America Multicultural Engagement Director. “We are grateful for his commitment to Scouting and taking time during the racing season to attend the 2026 Scouting America Jamboree.”
In addition to hearing from Brown, Scouts will have the opportunity to get an up-close look at the 12,000-horsepower Matco Tools Eagle Experience Top Fuel dragster and learn more about the teamwork, technology and precision required to compete at the highest level of NHRA drag racing.
