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!

🚨 The Momentum is Building! 🚨

Our Hooked on Scouting Membership Kickoff Events are just around the corner, and the response has been incredible! So far, 97 registrations representing 170 Scouting volunteers from 77 units have signed up to help make this our strongest recruitment season yet.

If your Pack, Troop, Crew, or Ship hasn’t registered, there’s still time! Every unit should have at least one representative attend. You’ll leave with proven recruitment strategies, campaign materials, recruiting resources, and ideas you can put into action immediately to help your unit grow this fall.

And yes—we’re feeding you, too! Join us for a full BBQ dinner featuring hickory-smoked pulled pork, macaroni and cheese, baked beans, coleslaw, cornbread, sweet tea, and iced water.

🎣 Choose the kickoff that works best for you:

📍 Membership Kickoff #1 – Camp Workcoeman
🗓️ Tuesday, August 25
🔗 https://scoutingevent.com/066-Kickoff12026

📍 Membership Kickoff #2 – J.N. Webster Scout Reservation
🗓️ Thursday, August 27
🔗 https://scoutingevent.com/066-Kickoff22026

Whether you’re representing a Cub Scout Pack, Scouts BSA Troop, Venturing Crew, or Sea Scout Ship, we hope you’ll join us. The best recruitment campaigns don’t happen by accident—they happen when leaders come together with a plan.

Let’s make this the strongest membership season Connecticut Rivers Council has ever seen. Register today so we can prepare your materials—and know how much BBQ to make!
