JOTA (Jamboree-on-the-Air) and JOTI (Jamboree-on-the-air-International) is the world’s largest digital Scout event taking place online and over the air. The educational event brings together more than 2 million Scouts every year in October for a weekend of Scouting and friendship. Young people can learn about communications technology and connect with fellow Scouts from over 173 countries.
JOTA-JOTI is about the 21st century skills you can learn in Scouting and the values of global citizenship. The event is open to Scouts around the world, enabling young people to connect and communicate with each other using the Internet and amateur radio. JOTAJOTI engages youth in educational activities that build teamwork, cross-cultural understanding, and skills for the future
