The National Scout Jamboree has been going since last Thursday and will wrap up this coming Thursday. There is an amateur radio booth on site operating as callsign K2BSA. sScouts can learn about amateur radio, earn the radio merit badge, make contacts on the air, and even test for a license!

I made contact via EchoLink on node *JOTA-365* and had a great conversation with a scout this evening. This helped them complete a badge requirement to make a contact.

Maybe some of you have heard them on the air this week already or perhaps you have time Wednesday or Thursday to help a scout finish a merit badge requirement. Here’s an article they posted today with info on frequencies they’re working - https://k2bsa.net/news/
