54th Jamboree On The Air / 15th Jamboree On The Internet at Narrabeen Australia 14-16 October 2011
The Jamboree of the Air and the Jamboree on the Internet are international Scout and Guide events held every year on the third full weekend in October. On this weekend Scouts and Guides all over the world all join in using Amateur Radio and the Internet to talk to each other. It's the biggest activity in Scouting, with over 500,000 participants worldwide!
Sydney North Region Scouts and The Northern Sydney Girl Guides will hold a JOTA/JOTI Camp, from Friday evening, 14 October to Sunday, 16 October 2011 at Sydney Lakeside Caravan Park. This is a great fun weekend camp, where Guides and Scouts join together to participate in the organised activities.
2011 marks the 25th Anniversary of JOTA camps at Narrabeen and there will be a special commemorative cloth badge for those that attend the camp.
It's time to start planning for the camp now. The Leader Information Pack is available to download on this page. Applications must be received by September 24 (end of school term). On the camp weekend groups that turn up without pre-booking will be turned away.
Cost for the weekend will be $50 for youth and $35 for leaders. There are no fees for helpers not staying overnight.

The JOTA camp website http://jota.uniq.com.au has lots of JOTA and JOTI related information.
Cub Scouts and Junior Guides
There is also a low cost programme suitable for Cub Scouts and Junior Guides. Read more about it. Please advise the booking officer by email of the numbers and we will allocate a time for you.
Cubs who have turned 10 might like to camp with their Scout troop for the weekend. This is a short, easy camp for older Cubs to try out scouts to see if they are ready to step up.
Vehicle entry to Sydney Lakeside Caravan Park
Please take note of these vehicle entry requirements on Friday evening. This is to avoid a giant traffic jam inside the caravan park.
For those dropping off youth members, the preferred entry is to park in Walsh St on the northern side of the caravan park and enter via the gateway about 50 metres from the corner of Narrabeen Park Pde.
Those dropping off equipment or with trailers may enter via the caravan park main gate off Lake Park Road. Follow the road around, go straight ahead through the roundabout, at the end turn left and go past the toilet block. We are camping on the grassy area north and east of this building.
Please go to the large bookings marquee for your site allocation and directions.
