What Is Jamboree-on-the-Internet?

Jamboree-on-the-Internet, or JOTI, is an annual international Scouting event sponsored by World Scouting. Each year, during the third weekend in October, Scouts from around the world gather online to learn about other cultures and the activities in which other Scouts participate. They communicate with each other using Internet-enabled devices such as computers, laptops, tablets, and mobile phones. About 2 million Scouts and leaders in over 170 countries participate annually!

Who Can Participate?

Scouts of any age can take part, from Cub Scouts to Scouts BSA, Venturers, Sea Scouts and Leaders. Scouts can participate at home with the help of an adult, or they can participate in a Scout group at a council event. JOTI is an economical way to participate in an international jamboree. The event allows Scouts to “meet” other Scouts from around the world through the Internet and share more information than just “Hi.” The exchanges can include such information as name, location of event, Scout rank, age, and hobbies. Some exchanges lead to long-lasting friendships. JOTI participation fulfills requirements for the Citizenship in the World merit badge and the International Spirit Award.
