BREAKING! A lost city has been discovered beneath the IMAG, and we need young explorers to solve its many mysteries!

This Thanksgiving, Camp IMAG presents the Lost City Expedition, where campers will collaborate, compete, and create to unravel the clues left behind by the science-loving civilization that built it. Their teamwork, creativity, and engineering skills will be put to the test, and it's up to them to complete the expedition and unlock the treasures of Lost City IMAG!

This camp session runs November 23 - 25 (featuring a new per-day registration option!), and is designed for campers grades K - 5. Registration opens very soon: watch this space so you can save your berth!

TODAY! You're invited to the biggest Scouting party on the air: please join us October 17 for JOTA-JOTI 2026!

JOTA-JOTI (Jamboree on the Air – Jamboree on the Internet) is the world’s largest digital Scout event, bringing together more than two million young people from over 170 countries every year. JOTA-JOTI is all about communication, cooperation, and discovery — whether you’re talking over amateur radio, chatting online, or joining one of the many live workshops, games, or cultural exchanges.

All Scouts in uniform (Class A or B) will be admitted to the IMAG free! All other admission is regular price. All Scouts in uniform (Class A or B) will be admitted to the IMAG free! All other admission is regular price.

Participants will take turns contacting scouts around the community, nation, and the world, with the help of radio operators from our very own local Fort Myers Amateur Radio Club & the Amateur Radio Emergency Services! ARES will also give a special presentation on Emergency and Disaster Preparedness. Learn about the use of this often-overlooked technology during disasters, and how radio saves lives. The event will cover parts of the Radio (9a&d) and Citizenship in the World (7e) merit badges for Scouting America, and parts of Section 2 of the Radio & Wireless Technology Patch for Girl Scouts.

Jamboree in the Internet (JOTI) will also be available in 20-minute sessions for scouts only, following Scouting America Safe JOTI guidelines.

The excitement doesn’t end at closing time; we’re jumping timezones. Return with your previously-issued wristband for a 7-9 PM evening JOTA-JOTI session to meet Scouts who are just starting their day!

For more details about the event, visit https://theimag.org/jota-joti-2026/; to pre-register your troop, please email Scout liaison Carol Morin: [email protected], with your Troop #, Scoutmaster, City, & attendance numbers.
