Indiana State Jamboree History

The Jamboree is an annual event held (typically) on the third weekend in October. Local association officers, directors and life members were invited to attend. One of the nine IBA districts was host of the
event, and the local associations within that district work together to make it a fun and informative weekend.

The first Joint Jamboree was hosted by the Kokomo men and women’s associations in 1991. In 1996, the name was changed to “James K. Landis Joint Jamboree” to honor IBA officer Jim Landis, who strongly believed in making the Jamboree a joint function. Informative seminars and special guest speakers often from Bowling Headquarters are included on the agenda. A hospitality room on Saturday evening and a doubles tournament add to the fun. Following a joint session on Sunday, awards and prizes to the tournament winners are recognized.

In 2018, the Jamboree became the Indiana State USBC Jamboree after the merger of the heritage associations. The following are the hosting associations/hosting districts.
