The week-end of October 12/13 was a very busy one! At Hallowtree, apart from a fly-over from Bear-in-the-Air, Tree-Mendous and the Training Academy, a Jamboree on the Air (JOTA) station was in operation. World-wide links to other Scouts were made over the ether via radio by a team of leaders and enthusiasts camped out during the whole week-end.
The map shows the countries where contacts were made - Japan is on there.. so contact for the Jamboree contingent may be possible!
Similar links were also made by using the Internet by Scouts at the Kesgrave HQ where some practised their foreign language skills!
For more information about JOTA/JOTI, take a look at the links in the Other Scouting Links page for Radio Scouting, JOTI and JOTA and put a note in the diary for the event in October 2014.
