JOTA brings worldwide Scouts together this weekend
Posted: Fri Oct 17, 2008 11:30 am
Some 500,000 Scouts and leaders will get together on Amateur Radio waves and Internet during the 51st Jamboree On The Air and 12th Jamboree On The Internet this Saturday and Sunday (18-19 Oct 2008). The LDS Church has always been a strong supporter of the Scouting program and many LDS Scouts will participate in JOTA this year (particularly on Saturday) speaking with other Scouts in foreign lands, strengthening relationships and creating lasting bonds.
For those Amateur Radio operators (or listeners) interested, the following will be used as calling frequencies:
More information can be found HERE, and a PDF flyer of the event can be downloaded from THIS page.
Many thanks to the ham operators around the world who share their time and personal equipment with the Scouts to make this all possible.
