Jamboree on the Air is an International Scout event, held on the third weekend in October each year, which brings together Scouts around the world using amateur radio. Amateur radio is an exciting technical hobby in which qualified enthusiasts are able to build or buy radio transmitters which allow them to communicate directly with other enthusiasts around the world and beyond. Taking part in amateur radio activities can qualify a Scout towards the Electronics, Radio Communicator and World Friendship badges.
