When Scouts want to meet young people from another country, they
usually think of attending a World Jamboree. But few people realize
that each year more than 400,000 Scouts and Guides "get together"
over the airwaves for the annual Jamboree-on-the-Air (JOTA). Modern
technology offers Scouts the exciting opportunity to make friends in
other countries without leaving home.

JOTA is an annual event in which Boy and Girl Scouts and Guides
from all over the world speak to each other by means of Amateur
(ham) Radio. Scouting experiences are exchanged and ideas are shared
via radio waves. Since 1958 when the first Jamboree-on-the-Air was
held, millions of Scouts have met each other through this event. Many
contacts made during JOTA have resulted in pen pals and links between
Scout troops that have lasted many years.

With no restrictions on age or on the number of participants, and at
little or no expense, JOTA allows Scouts to contact each other by ham
radio. The radio stations are operated by licensed ham radio operators.
Many Scouts and leaders hold licenses and have their own stations,
but the majority participate in JOTA through stations operated
by local radio clubs and individual radio amateurs. Some operators use
television or computer-linked communications.
