JOTA 2008

JOTA (Jamboree Of The Air) is an international event in which around 500,000 Scouts and Guides from around the world have fun talking to each other via radio. This year the Winston Hills Girl Guides operated two radios and made contacts right across NSW, Victoria, South Australia, Queensland as well as with the USA.  Countless craft activities and even a guiding computer game were set up and enjoyed by all.  This year's specialty which excited many was the assortment of  'old-fashioned' technology such as rotary dial telephones, a typewriter and Morse keys

       
  Trying out technology with typewriters as well as sending and decoding Morse code

   
Making sense of Marine flags and having fun at craft
