The Jamboree-on-the-Air, or JOTA is an annual Scouting and amateur radio event sponsored by the World Scout Bureau of the World Organization of the Scout Movement.  Thousands of amateur radio stations around the world participate.  If the conditions are right, it is common to contact a hundred Scouting countries during the weekend.

In the United States, Cub Scout dens, Boy Scout patrols, and Venturing crews visit a local amateur's ham shack during the JOTA.  Many districts and councils hold events that coincide with the JOTA, where amateurs set up stations giving Scouts and leaders a chance to exchange greetings with other Scouts from around the world.
