Let's All Jamboree!
More than a half million scouts from around the world are ready to Jamboree and all they need to do it is you!
For the 57th time, the Jamboree On The Air or "JOTA" will globally unite the boys, girls, and adult leaders of scouting via amateur radio.
Always held on the third weekend in October, scouts and hams can utilize any or all of the time to make new friends via QSO's on the amateur radio bands. Many scouts and hams begin their operations with Friday evening pre-Jamboree teasers.
Nevada will once again be well represented by both organized groups and individual stations taking part in the weekend of fun.
