JOTA at the VOA Meeting



Our Council VOA meeting is coming up this Sunday, Oct 18th, 2pm at Loud Thunder. We will be introducing our new officers and participating in Jamboree on the Air.

What is JOTA I hear you ask? JOTA is the only World Scout event that happens simultaneously around the world. It a Ham radio event to bring scouts from across the world together. We will have Radios set up at camp with the capability of talking across the country, and possibly around the world depending on conditions. And the best part? You can use em! Also if you're a Boy Scout and working on your Radio Merit Badge you can complete a requirement or two.
