This station has been taking
part in J.O.T.A. for quite a few years mainly from Cherry Garth but also from
other locations in 1990 the station ceased to take part until 1993 when a Radio
Scouter with help from some of the local hams tried
a station we had 2 scouts and 4 radio amateurs the following year we had 30
scouts and guides and 1 radio amateur then in 1996 we had 130 scouts and guides
attend the weekend & a team of Ventures and Rangers who helped with all the
badge requirements that the radio opps couldn't. From 1998 Leaders from the Cub
Section have put on non radio forms of communication such as Finger spelling,
Secret writing, Fax machine and emergency telephone procedures. The event is organized
by The Grimsby & Cleethorpes Scouts JOTA team
