BSA HAM: How do Scouts use ham radio?
Purpose

 

Jamboree On The Air is an annual international amateur radio event where Scouts around the world make radio contacts with others. Often this event occurs during Fall Camporees, so while you're having fun at the camporee, you can also visit the ham shack & try your skill, meet new people & learn a fun new hobby.       Jamboree On The Air 2006     Scout foxhunt at JOTA
