Jamboree on the Air (JOTA) is an annual Scouting event that connects Scouts around the world with the use of amateur radio.
The event is held on the third full weekend of October each year, together with Jamboree on the Internet (JOTI).

This years JOTA/JOTI takes place on 16th to the 18th of October.

As usual, the Radio Club will be on the air during the event.
Times and slots for Groups to attend are still to be finalised.
These will be posted on this website and also communicated to our local Groups.

Members from the Radio Club were invited by the Stirling and District Amateur Radio Society to help operate a Special Event amateur radio station during the Commonwealth Games. We would like to extend our thanks to them for giving us the opportunity and making us very welcome.

The Radio Club will be operating the Special Event Station, GB0GGR, to celebrate 100 years of Thinking Day.
The station will be operational on Saturday the 21st and Sunday the 22nd of February 2026 at the Scouts District Headquarters on Finnart Street, Greenock.

World Thinking Day is observed by the World Association of Girl Guides and Girl Scouts on the third full weekend in February.
The primary objective of Thinking Day on the Air (TDOTA) is to facilitate the establishment of international friendships among Girlguiding members from different units through the medium of amateur radio communication.
During TDOTA 2026, Girl Guides and Scouts globally will commemorate 100 years of World Thinking Day on Sunday the 22nd of February.

This year’s Thinking Day theme is ‘Our Friendship’.

It is a chance for members to reflect on the friendships they have locally as well as the global community they are part of as Girl Guides and Girl Scouts.

The Radio Club has decided to stop using the “X” platform with immediate effect.
This decision will have minimal effect on our readers as all our relevant information will still be posted on this website.
