Jamboree On The Air (JOTA) - On Oct. 21 boys from Pack 180 and Troop 180 had the opportunity to talk to other scouts from around the country and around the world via amateur (HAM) radio from the radio room of the USS Ling submarine in Hackensack.  Boys who participated will be receiving a post card certificate and may purchase a commemorative patch they can wear.  The NJ Naval Museum web page is at http://www.njnm.com/.
