What is JOTA-JOTI?
A Jamboree is a large gathering of Scouts either global or national and traces its roots back to the early days of Scouting in the last century. The first World Scout Jamboree was held in 1920 and it still takes place every four years.
As ham radio became popular among Scouts the idea of holding a Jamboree remotely using ham radio: the “Jamboree on the Air” was born and first held in 1957. Later when the internet became increasingly popular the “Jamboree on the Internet” was created in 1995. Today the two events have merged into a single experience called JOTA-JOTI.
What Is Jamboree-on-the-Internet?
Jamboree-on-the-Internet or JOTI is an annual international Scouting event sponsored by the World Organization of the Scout Movement. Each year during the third weekend in October Scouts from around the world gather online to learn about other cultures and the activities in which other Scouts participate. They communicate with each other using Internet-enabled devices such as computers laptops tablets and mobile phones. Each year JOTI has nearly 16000 Scouts and leaders from over 145 countries registered in the worldwide JOTA-JOTI database!
