2009 Jamboree on the Air

GET READY FOR THE 2009 JAMBOREE-ON-THE-AIR AND JAMBOREE-ON-THE-INTERNET, October 17-18, 2009!

Please see the International Department website, www.scouting.org/international, for a view of the new Jamboree-on-the-Air patch as well as the separate Jamboree-on-the-Internet patch. Just click on the specific program in the What's New box for more information on how to participate and order the patches and cards. Patches for both programs are $4 each and contact cards are free and both will be available August 1.

The International Department will also have a JOTA/JOTI Extravaganza at the National Scouting Museum, Irving, Texas, on Saturday, October 17, 2009, from 9am to 4pm. We plan to have local Scouts, Scouters, and ham radio operators present at the event. Bob Mazzuca, the Chief Scout Executive of the Boy Scouts of America, has also been invited to stop by. We will offer free admission to the museum, free lunch, and a commemorative patch for all who attend that day. If you can't make it, tune into K2BSA and say hi!
