      Hi, Dave. Three approaches to a solution come to mind:  Scouts, EMA 
ARRL officials and ham radio clubs in your area.

1.  Ask the Scout Executives at your local Council office about JOTA 
activities. Ask local Scout leaders, Scoutmasters and Troop Committee 
people; about JOTA activities. The Scout Executives can provide 
information, email addresses and telephone numbers, etc.; on how to contact 
local leaders.

2.  ARRL supports JOTA,    http://www.arrl.org/FandES/ead/jota.html and 
associated links.
EMA ARRL officials are listed in the right hand column 
of:  http://www.arrl.org/sections/?sect=EMA
and will have information regarding JOTA activities in your area.

3. To contact ham radio clubs in your area regarding JOTA  activities 
please visit:  http://www.arrl.org/FandES/field/club/clubsearch.phtml
Many of the Web search responses will provide Web URLs, email addresses and 
telephone numbers that will help you to find local clubs sponsoring JOTA 
activities.

       The "club search" Web URL above can also be helpful in finding 
classes for a new ham in North-Central MA / Athol.

        Hope that the above will be of help to your friend in finding a 
JOTA site for her son's scout troop. Please email me 
at:  mailto:n1nhz@arrl.net if you need additional JOTA information.

       The Boston Amateur Radio Club will be operating a JOTA site in 
Hingham on Saturday, October 19, with the call sign "W1BOS".
