Join 7th Boston Swineshead Scouts and 12th Lincoln Scouts for a weekend of camping, practical challenges and conversations across the world at our Jamboree on the Air (JOTA) camp, from Friday 16 to Sunday 18 October 2026.
Meet Scouts around the world
JOTA is the amateur-radio part of JOTA-JOTI, the world’s largest digital and radio Scout event. Scouts will have the chance to get on the air, practise their communication skills and discover what Scouting is like in other countries.
We hope to make contact with Scouts in countries such as Australia, the United States and South Africa. With different time zones to work around, some radio sessions may run late into the evening — a chance to experience the excitement of making an international connection.
Build skills and work towards badges
Across the weekend, Scouts will work towards their Communicator, International, Electronics and Survival Skills badges, combining radio activities with hands-on learning and camp life.
Choose your additional activity
Scouts can choose between bouldering and a visit to the games warehouse. These activities take place at the same time, so each young person must choose one. Please mark their preference on the nights-away consent form.
