Of course this World Scout Jamboree will have an amateur radio station to connect Scouts to brothers and sisters around the globe and to offer an exciting radio-scouting project. The staff of SJ22S counts over 20 international Scout radio amateurs together with another 20 Swedish radio Scouts.
During the camp the Scouts can test fox hunting, kit building, Morse code and of course they will have the opportunity to operate radio. Using PMR 446MHz radio’s we offer all the Scouts the opportunity to learn how to use a radio as a complement in the traditional Scout work.
The location for the 22nd World Scout Jamboree is on the Rinkaby fields outside of Kristianstad in the south of Sweden in JO67DA. There will also be “camp in camp” activities in a radius of 100 km around Kristianstad. These are traditional Swedish Scout camps that the international Scouts can visit during an overnight stay.
You will find us at the international scout frequencies:
- CW: 3570 7030 14060 18080 21140 24910 28180 kHz
- Phone: 3690 7090 14290 18140 21360 24960 28390 kHz
Skeds can be arranged beforehand by sending an email to SJ22S@worldscoutjamboree.se
History
In 1957 the 9th World Scout Jamboree celebrated the 50th anniversary of Scouting in Sutton Coldfield, England. For the first time, the World Scout Jamboree was equipped with an amateur radio station, GB3SP. A thought occurred amongst those present: “why not gather all the Scouts to an on-air meeting at a special time each year”. And the annual JOTA (Jamboree On The Air) was born. Each World Scout Jamboree ever since has been equipped with an amateur radio station to link the camp to the rest of the world.

@Alan: yes, SJ22S will be on Echolink as well.
@Geltzer: I don’t think that repeaters are allowed on the PMR band; the PMR radio’s are type approved and may not be modified into a repeater.
To arrange skeds in advance, email: sj22s@worldscoutjamboree.se
See http://www.scout.org/jota for further details.
