JOTA and JOTI are coming soon! You are encouraged to promote the Jamboree-on-the-Air (JOTA) and the Jamboree-on-the-Internet (JOTI) in your local Council. These events are the largest annual International gathering of Scouts and their leaders. This year JOTA and JOTI will be held from midnight October 15 to midnight October 16, and will include Amateur Radio Operators and Scouts and leaders from around the world.
For JOTA, you should begin by looking at the JOTA website http://scouting.org/jota and see what information is available to guide the Council, Districts and local Units as they prepare for Jamboree-on-the-Air 2011. If your Council is not an active participant in JOTA, then plan a Council JOTA station at your Council camp or at the Council office. Contact your local Amateur Radio Club and have one or more stations set up for the event.
For JOTI information, please visit http://www.scouting.org/filestore/intl/pdf/130-883.pdf. This is the 54th year of JOTA and the 15th year of JOTI. Please do your part to make JOTA and JOTI a great day of International Scouting in your Council. Promote the events at Roundtables, by e-mail, on the Council website, and in your Council's newsletter. Join the adventure of International Scouting! If you have any questions or need additional insight regarding JOTA, please contact the National JOTA Organizer, Jim Wilson, K5ND, at jim.wilson@scouting.org or 972-580-2010.
