The activities and times are described more in
the attached document. If youth members attend at
least 1 of these sessions, they will receive a JOTA 2021

There is no cost to participate or be involved in the event,
just an interest to know a bit more about amateur radio.
All activities are optional and there is plenty to choose from.
Any questions, please contact your section leader and
group leader. In your reply, please indicate the day
and time which is best for your child.
