The International Scouting Organization sponsors an annual event called Jamboree on the Air, a get together of Scouts and Scouters over the Amateur Radio bands that has been happening for decades. In the recent past, JOTI, or Jamboree on the Internet, has been added to allow more participation options for youth interested in radio and/or interacting with Scouts from around the world.  During the current GGAC reorganization the JOTA team is taking a break, but if you are interested there is an opportunity to participate via the Silicon Valley Monterey Bay Council. Links after the break.

In Scouting, youth run the Troop, but adults are critical to support the Troop's operation and make Scout leadership possible. As youth age out, we have a need to refill our ranks of adults in all sorts of positions. Merit Badge Counselors help youth learn and earn Merit Badges, Assistant Scoutmasters to support outings and meetings, and all matter of positions on the Committee side that support operations from advancement to finance. Please contact the Committee Chair Doddabele, Prakash and The Scoutmaster Hertel, Gene if you are interested.

The Scoutmaster and Assistant Scoutmasters meet monthly, usually on the second Sunday of the month at 7pm. Next meeting is on September 13. If you are interested in attending, contact Hertel, Gene
