Leaders are requested to please maintain supervision of guides and scouts whilst attending the JOTA station. To help keep contacts with other JOTA stations interesting, we recommend guides and scouts come to JOTA prepared with topics to discuss with others on air.
Jamboree On The Air (JOTA) is an unique opportunity for guides and scouts to use the medium of radio waves to communicate with others, greetings are exchanged, program ideas swapped, experiences shared whilst more is learned about each other.
Amateur Radio is a hobby for an enthusiastic group of operators, who provide and setup radio equipment for JOTA. The amateur radio operators will do there best to find and establish communication with other JOTA radio stations. Once established, youth members can then speak with the other JOTA radio station.
It is important that leaders stay with members of their group at all times, whilst youth members are present at the radio station or other JOTA activity. Leaders should ensure suitable questions are asked, ideally requiring more than a yes or no answer. Leaders are responsible for the behavior of youth members whilst attending JOTA activities.
Supervision of youth members is NOT the responsibility of amateur radio operators.
