The World Scout Jamboree On The Internet (JOTI) is an international Scout Meeting on the
Internet which takes places every year on the third weekend of october. This is an official event of
the World Organization of the Scout Movement.

During that weekend, thousands of Scouts from all over the world meet and communicate with each
other over the Internet, using any technologies locally available, from web browsers to e-mail, chat
programs, microphones, scanners and digital cameras. Scoutgroups can combine this event with the
Jamboree On The Air (JOTA), an event where Scouts can communicate with each other over radio
amateur frequencies with the assistance of a local radio amateur crew.

Most of the communication takes place over E-mail and in a chat network called IRC, the Internet
Relay Chat. JOTI allows you to build friendships with Scouts in other countries and to find out more
about their civil and scouting life. Often, these contacts last for years and build the base for
upcoming group trips and entreprises.

Since 1996, JOTI is an official WOSM event and has a permanent place on the Web Site of the
World Scout Bureau.

If we've raised your interest, just get a few suggestions from the Joti web site and participate in this
year's JOTI.
