JOTA-JOTI (Jamboree on the Air – Jamboree on the Internet) is the world’s largest digital Scout event, bringing together more than two million young people from over 170 countries every year.
It takes place on the third weekend of October and is open to Scouts and Guides of all ages. Over the course of the weekend, participants connect with others around the world through radio waves and the internet, taking part in exciting activities that promote friendship, global citizenship, and skills for life.
JOTA-JOTI is all about communication, cooperation, and discovery — whether you’re talking over amateur radio, chatting online, or joining one of the many live workshops, games, or cultural exchanges.
No special experience or Scout membership is needed — just curiosity, a willingness to connect, and a Scout spirit! JOTA-JOTI is open to everyone!
IMAG Programming
October 17: Daytime & Evening
All Scouts in uniform (Class A or B) will be admitted to the IMAG free! All other admission is regular price.
The event will cover parts of the Radio (9a&d) and Citizenship in the World (7e) merit badges for Scouting America, and parts of Section 2 of the Radio & Wireless Technology Patch for Girl Scouts.
Participants will take turns contacting scouts around the community, nation, and the world, with the help of radio operators from our very own local Fort Myers Amateur Radio Club & Amateur Radio Emergency Services!
The Amateur Radio Emergency Services will also give a special presentation on Emergency and Disaster Preparedness. Learn about the use of this often-overlooked technology during disasters, and how radio saves lives.
Jamboree in the Internet (JOTI) will also be available in 20-minute sessions for scouts only, following Scouting America Safe JOTI guidelines.
The excitement doesn’t end at closing time; we’re jumping timezones. Return with your previously-issued wristband for a 7-9 PM evening JOTA-JOTI session to meet Scouts who are just starting their day!
Scout units: pre-register your troop by emailing carolm@theimag.org with your Troop #, Scoutmaster, City, & attendance numbers to receive a Leader’s Guide with the schedule, QSL Logcard, Ham Radio Terms, Phonetic Alphabet, Morse Code, and more! One registration per troop, please.
