JOTA – (Jamboree-On-The-Air) & JOTI – (Jamboree-On-The-Internet) is the world’s largest Scout event taking place each year on the third weekend in October. The event connects millions of young people from around the world for a full weekend of activities that promote safe communications, friendship and global citizenship.
JOTA-JOTI enables young people and volunteers to participate in fun and engaging group activities over the Internet and amateur radio focused on developing 21st century skills through Scouting.
The dynamic programme features a variety of non-formal education activities, including webinars, global campfires, talent shows, live shows, and much more. World Scouting’s global partners are actively involved in the event, offering their expertise and fun activities to engage participants. The JOTA-JOTI programme aims to support Scouts and non-Scouts of all ages to learn about communications technology, the values of global citizenship, and how together we can solve the most pressing challenges facing our planet.
Keeping young people Safe from Harm online is an important aspect of this event. Through chat moderation, “listening ears”, e-learning courses and a number of sessions about how to be safe online, we make sure that all participants have a positive and inclusive JOTA-JOTI experience.
JOTA-JOTI is one of World Scouting’s longest-running global events dating back more than 64 years to 1958. The digital educational event has seen steady annual growth in participation over the years and with a focus on the future aims to reach millions of more participants in the years to come.

Camping the Weekend
This is a wonderful opportunity to start the camping year in a safe, secure location with experienced Scouters on site to support you and your Troop, Pack and Company.
From the time you arrive on Friday afternoon, until you depart Sunday, there is always something to do – if you choose to do it.
Friday night activities start with Campfire …. under the stars.
Saturday brings a variety of activities –
In past years we have made contact with stations as far away as South Africa, Australia, and the International Space Station! We have even connected with WOSM Headquarters in Geneva who also run a ham Station every year,
Sunday we plan to close down the camp quietly.
It’s a great camp to get you going for a new scouting year. We hope you’ll come out and we know that, if you do, you and your youth will have a great time!
