Hi my name is Brett Nicholas VK2BNN and I have been recently appointed as the Scouts Australia National co-ordinator for Jamboree On The Air also known as JOTA.
My name is Lorraine O’Hare VK2FICQ and I am the Girl Guides Australia National JOTA-JOTI Co-ordinator.
We would like to take this opportunity to thank all the Amateurs who have assisted with JOTA in the past and encourage both individuals and clubs to get involved with this year’s event.
This year JOTA will be held on the weekend of the 20th to the 22nd of October.
This year is a very special year. We are celebrating the 60th anniversary since Les Mitchell G3BHK (SK), Len Jarrett VE3MYF and their radio-scouting friends organised the first event in 1958. Who could have imagined that there will be well over one million Girl Guides and Scouts spread over more than 150 countries participating 60 years later.
JOTA is fast approaching and it’s time to start putting plans together and get moving with this year’s event. If you haven’t participated before then the 60th anniversary is a great year to give it a go.
Check out the September issue of AR magazine for an article with further information on Jamboree On The Air.
If you need assistance to contacting your local Scout Group or require further information Scouts Australia has a JOTA-JOTI coordinator in each state who can assist you. Contact details for the Branch Co-ordinators can be found on the Scouts Australia web site in the International Scouting section. The easiest way to find this information is to google JOTA contacts Scouts Australia. It comes up as the second hit in my browser. If all else fails please feel free to contact myself via email at jota.joti (at) scouts.com.au
Each state also has a Girl Guides JOTA-JOTI co-ordinator. Their contact details can similarly be found by searching Girl Guides Australia JOTA online. This should take you to the Girl Guides Australia website which has a JOTA-JOTI web page under the international Guiding tab. Otherwise you can contact myself via email at JOTAJOTI (at) girlguides.org.au
Once again the Girl Guides and Scouts of Australia would like to thank the Amateur Radio community for their continuing support of this great annual event.
Thanks and 73.
