We’re getting ready for the largest Scout gathering in the United States coming Summer 2021. We’re looking for operators to be on staff at the K2BSA demonstration station and Radio Merit Badge area.
The operations plan is in the works. This time we’re going to be focusing on demonstrating Voice and CW operations on HF/VHF/UHF and satellite. As well, we will most likely be doing Radio Merit Badge, Morse Code Interpreter Strip, balloon launch(es), and Amateur Radio Direction Finding.
If you think you’re interested in serving on staff at the National Jamboree, please consider applying on the national site by navigating here then fill out our survey here to get in line for interviews. If you are not sure but still want to interview, please submit the survey. Training for your position will start towards the end of 2020, but apply early to ensure your inclusion in this event!
