Jamboree on the Air / Jamboree on the Internet

The Jamboree on the Air, or JOTA, is an annual Scouting event that
uses Amateur Radio to link Scouts around the world, around Canada, and
in your own community.

Held on the third full weekend of October each year, this worldwide
jamboree requires no travel, other than to a nearby Amateur Radio
shack, Scout meeting place, camp or community centre.

JOTA started in 1958 (with the World JOTA Bureau located right here in
Ottawa, Canada). In 1997, communicating through the Internet was
added, and this was called Jamboree on the Internet or JOTI for short.
Both annual events are sanctioned and sponsored by the World
Organization of the Scouting Movement. In short, it's the best way to
talk to half a million Scouts and Guides without having to leave your
own community!

JOTA-JOTI is the largest Scouting event in the world with over 1
million Scouts participating across 150+ countries. The event is held
each year on the third weekend of October and this year it is being
held from October 14-16.

This is the official World Organization of the Scout Movement’s
website for JOTA-JOTI.
