Jamboree on the Air 2024

Jamboree on the Air (JOTA) is the largest Scouting event in the world. Through the magic of amateur radio, 2 million Scouts from over 170 Countries, across 12,000 radio stations, will converge on the airwaves to talk with each other the third weekend in October. Bay-Lakes Council has trained radio operators at three locations around Council territory to bring that magic to life. Don’t pass up this opportunity to talk with Scouts from other states or countries. 2024 JOTA commemorative patches are available at the Bay-Lakes Scout Shop.
