Amateur radio stations have been set up at each World Scout Jamboree since 1957. They provided a live-link from the Jamboree to the home countries of the participants, directly over short-wave radio. For many years, this was the only direct contact back home a Scout could have.
The World Jamboree radio stations provided a glimpse of the Jamboree live to other Scouts world-wide as part of the Join-in-Jamboree programme. Ths station team also ran daily programmes for the Scouts on the Jamboree site. To many of them, their first encounter with short-wave radio.
A radio-scouting seminar is held in Europe every 3 or 4 years. Participants from all over Europe discuss JOTA organisation, devise further policies and exchange radio-scouting ideas and views. Participants are National JOTA Organisers, International Commisioners and National team members.
