GB100J closes down

The closing ceremony was held on Tuesday evening at the World Scout Jamboree at Hylands Park, Chelmsford.

While GB100J has been speaking to the world from Hylands Park, Chelmsford one of the main jobs of the Scouting Amateurs supporting the event has been to promote Radio Scouting
to the many hundreds of visitors to the Marquee.

All visitors with callsigns have been asked to sign the visitors' book and invited to operate one of the transceivers using the Jamboree callsign.

Numerous Foundation and Intermediate licence holders have availed themselves of that opportunity and hundreds of scouts have found a renewed interest in Radio Scouting.

It bodes well for the 50th Jamboree on the Air in October.
