The JOTA/JOTI is an annual event in which Scouts all over the world speak to each other by means of amateur radio contacts or the Internet. Scouting experiences are exchanged and ideas are shared.
When Scouts want to meet young people from another country they usually think of attending a World Jamboree or another international gathering. But few people realize that each year about half-a-million Scouts "get together" over the airwaves for the annual Jamboree On The Air (JOTA), and through the Internet in the Jamboree On The Internet (JOTI). Modern communication technology offers Scouts the exciting opportunity to make friends in other countries without even leaving the state.
Activities:
- Participating in Jamboree On The Air via Amateur Radio
- Participating in Jamboree On The Internet
- Morse code game
- Cub Scouts: Computers Beltloop
- Boy Scouts: Radio Merit Badge Workshop or Computer Merit Badge Workshop
- and much more.
