JOTA-JOTI

Jamboree on the Air - Jamboree on the Internet, better known as JOTA-JOTI, is the world’s largest digital and radio Scout event. Scouts and Guides come together online and over the airwaves to promote better connections and global citizenship. Each year, millions of young people take part in exciting activities that foster intercultural communication and friendship using amateur radio and the internet.

Join JOTA-JOTI to learn a mix of traditional and 21st century skills as well as the shared values in Scouting. Open to Scouts around the world, this event has been transcending borders and countries long before the digital age.

As amateur radio became increasingly popular among Scouts in the first half of the 20th century, the idea of holding a Jamboree remotely was born. This led to the first Jamboree on the Air in 1958. Decades later, the rise of the internet brought about the launch of the Jamboree on the Internet in 1996. The two events have since merged into a single experience called JOTA-JOTI, a global gathering that happens every year over the third weekend of October.
