What: The Jamboree-on-the-Air, or JOTA, is an annual Scouting event that uses amateur radio to link Scouts around the world, around the nation, 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 radio amateur’s ham shack.

We will have 25 Free Patches for the first 25 youth (Cub, Boy, or Venture) that are registered on-line to attend this event. Additional patches can be ordered by units through the National office. Forms will be available at the JOTA event.

Registration Opens on October 10^th 2012 at 9:00am
