It is chock full of incredible insight gained over five years of running JOTA events. He has also provided lots of downloads that you can readily modify for your event. Check it out.

> We also encourage you to reach out to your club, troop, district, and council to get them involved in JOTA at the local level. Need help explaining JOTA? Here's some presentations designed for both Scouters and amateur radio operators. Match them to your audience. Time to tell your story and get people activated and involved.
