How can your Cub Scouts connect with Scouts in 170 countries—without leaving home? Join us to learn all about Jamboree on the Air and Jamboree on the Internet (JOTA/JOTI)!
Held each year on the third full weekend of October, JOTA/JOTI is an international Scouting event that brings Scouts together through amateur radio and the internet. It’s an exciting opportunity for Cub Scouts to discover other cultures, learn how Scouting is different—and the same—around the world, and experience the global Scouting community firsthand.
Ruth Barnes Shaw joins us to share how JOTA/JOTI works and how your pack can get involved.
Whether you’re a longtime JOTA/JOTI participant or have never heard of it before, tune in to discover how you can open a whole world of Scouting to your Cub Scouts!

Congratulations to our Scouts of the Week from Scouts BSA Troop 967: Arnav V., Alex I., and Jake K.!

From Troop 967:

Our council is proud to announce the 2027 recipients of the Distinguished Citizen Award: Jan and Bobby Jenkins!

Jan and Bobby are two of the most visible leaders in Central Texas business and philanthropic circles. Whether as a family or at the office, the Jenkins name is synonymous with character. Jan and Bobby’s example has inspired generations to serve, support, and give. Scouting has helped instill these values in the Jenkins family, from Bobby’s time as a Scout growing up in San Antonio to Jan’s service as a volunteer leader in Austin while their children were Scouts in elementary school. It’s easy to see the Scout Oath’s call to “help other people at all times” and the Scout Law’s values of being Friendly, Courteous, and Kind, reflected in the life Jan and Bobby have made for themselves and their family.

It's our honor to recognize the Jenkins at our 2027 Distinguished Citizen Award Luncheon on Thursday, February 4, 2027, at the Hilton Austin. Funds from the Distinguished Citizen Award event benefit hundreds of Scouting programs across 15 Central Texas counties serving youth regardless of ability or economic level. To learn more about the event and how you/your company can support it, please visit our website at www.thedistinguishedcitizen.com.

Scouting can take your child farther than you might imagine. Just ask Cub Scout Pack 471 Elgin, TX., who wrapped up summer with an overnight adventure at NASA - National Aeronautics and Space Administration alongside Scouts from across Texas.

They built and launched rockets, tackled a robotics challenge, and got an up-close look at where astronauts train for the International Space Station.

From campsites to space exploration, Scouting gives kids the chance to try new things, build confidence and discover just how big their world can be.
