Each night during the Jamboree we asked one of the international staff into the studio to talk about Scouting in their home country. One of these was Peter Omondi from Kenya.  As well as his Scouting Peter is involved in a Peace Project centered around 7-a-side football.  We'll be keeping in touch with Peter to see how all this goes....   [soundcloud url="https://api.soundcloud.com/playlists/251751158" params="auto_play=false&hide_related=false&show_comments=true&show_user=true&show_reposts=false&visual=true" width="100%" height="450" iframe="true" /]

Fancy yourself as a DJ or Radio Presenter? Well try The Takeover! Every day during Run To The Fun between 10am and 12:20pm we offer the opportunity for small groups (around 5) to come together, work with us to plan their show and then broadcast it live on the radio! Because of demand we normally book slots so head to the radio station to book yours when on site - or you can book in advance by emailing [email protected]. Each session is around 40 minutes long. This involves 20 minutes planning and then your 20 minute show. You can talk about what you're up to on camp, why you love scouts, and even pick your songs! All shows are recorded and uploaded onto the JamFM website, so you, your friends and your family can listen again afterwards. Every Takeover presenter will receive a J...

BBC finds hidden treasure at Jam FM

BBC finds hidden treasure at Jam FM

Jam FM, News, Norjam
BBC Radio Norfolk and Jam FM 107.2 have completed a simulcast on both stations this morning.  BBC Radio Norfolk visited Norjam, the Norfolk Scout & Guide International Jamboree, on the Norfolk Showground as part of their Sunday morning Treasure Quest show. One of the clues they needed to find was located in the Jam FM studios on site.  Jam FM is a RSL radio station for the week long Jamboree run by Scout Radio. Kayleigh Poacher was presenting the breakfast show on Jam FM while BBC Radio Norfolk’s Kathrine Nash hunted for the clue.  For a short time both shows were broadcast on both radio stations. Martin Steers, Scout Radio Manager, said “it’s great that the BBC and local community organisations are working together in this way.  Scout Radio was set up to provide radio stations for lar...

More than 6,500 scouts and guides from around the world arrived in Maidstone for the Kent International Jamboree  to the sound of Scout Radio blasting out party tunes around the site to get the action packed week started. The Scout Radio team had arrived a few days in advance, to set up the studio in a prime location opposite the main stage. After a few weeks of scorching sun we were battling to get pegs in the ground to secure our towering mast, but a few days on and we were battling to keep the wind and rain from inside our studio! Setting up a radio studio in a field has some challenges. Jam FM was ready for a very busy week, covering every aspect of the fun filled activities both on and off site at Kent International Jamboree, with a playlist of summer anthems and old favourites to k...

Scout Radio were in a prime location to run an FM station at this huge jamboree event, we were in the market square in the centre of the action. Around 10,000 people came together for this international camp and it felt as though Scout Radio spoke to most of them over the week. We were live on air from 7am to midnight every day, speaking to organisers, visitors, participants and playing some lively summer tunes to create a fun filled atmosphere. We also had young people on air creating their own shows, picking the tunes and telling us what it is like to be a Scout or Guide at this amazing event. Every night Scout Radio broadcast all the action from the main stage, the talent shows, the band performances and the opening and closing ceremonies, which gave all involved an even bigger audienc...
