Event notice
The Jamboree on the Air, or JOTA, is an annual Scouting event that uses amateur radio to link Scouts around the world, around Canada, and in your own community. Held on the third full weekend of October each year, this worldwide jamboree requires no travel, other than to a nearby amateur radio shack, Scout meeting place, camp or community center. JOTA started in 1958 with the World JOTA Bureau located right here in Ottawa, Canada.
Scouts will be operating from Scout HQ at 1345 Baseline Road for the weekend. They are welcoming other amateur radio operators and the general public to join them, either on the air or in person at Scout HQ.
Are you a scouter who can volunteer to help at this event? Please contact the organizers ASAP at ve3shq@scouts.ca .
