Invitation to the world’s largest annual youth event

Two million young people from around the world are expected to take part in
this year’s *Jamboree-On-The-Air*-*Jamboree-On-The-Internet* (JOTA-JOTI),
the world’s biggest Scouting event

IARU Region 1 reports:

During JOTA-JOTI, which takes place this year from 19-21 October. Scouts
and Guides will encounter numerous different languages and cultures in a
worldwide learning experience that lasts all day and well into the night.

JOTA-JOTI is designed to make participants feel that they are truly part of
a global Movement. Whatever their age, religion, colour, ability, or
disability, everyone can join the annual travel-free Jamboree wherever they
are in the world. JOTA-JOTI is always held on the third weekend of October.

Scouts use amateur radio and the Internet, to connect with each other over
the JOTA-JOTI weekend. The initiative helps to promote cultural awareness,
develop tolerance, and enhance sharing, collaboration and teamwork.

Some 20,000 licensed amateur radio operators put 12,000 radio stations on
the air with state-of-the-art technology. This offers an excellent
opportunity for young radio amateurs to inspire young Scouts with the
charms of radio techniques. And for Scouts to share their world with radio
amateurs of (nearly) their own age.

his could lead to follow-up activities during the Youngster month in
December and field days e.g.

*SSTV badges*
One of the main activities for Scouts in this year’s JOTA is to exchange
badges (as electronic pictures) via SSTV. With the target to let them
experience a different technique combined with a well-known Scout activity
to swap badges. SSTV has become so much more accessible with a laptop or
smartphone and some software, combining the radio and the digital world. It
is in particular for this activity that young amateur radio operators can
play an important role in making the connections and discovering the
possibilities of SSTV.

*Join in*
We invite all young amateur radio operators to get in touch with the
nearest Scout group and join in the JOTA-JOTI. Likewise, we invite all
local Scout group leaders to contact the amateur radio clubs in their
region to ask for support by young amateurs for their JOTA-JOTI event.

To assist with finding a Scout group, radio operators may contact the
National JOTA-JOTI Coordinator in their country. Email addresses are
available at:

To assist with finding young radio amateurs, Scout groups leaders may
contact the youth coordinator of your IARU member society.
