Join millions of Scouts from around the world for JOTA-JOTI 2025, the largest global Scouting event held online and over the airwaves from 17 – 19 October 2025! This year’s theme is “A world shaped by youth!”
What is JOTA-JOTI?
JOTA-JOTI (Jamboree-on-the-Air and Jamboree-on-the-Internet) connects over 2 million Scouts from 174+ countries through amateur radio and online platforms. It’s a weekend of international friendship, communication tech, games, and Scout activities.
How to join & what you need:
Hosting is simple! Set up at your Scout Hall with some Cubs, Scouts, Rovers, and a Scouter. You can choose your own schedule and even run badge activities during the weekend.
Two ways to participate:
-
Amateur radio – Arrange in advance with a local ham radio operator.
-
Online chat – Use official JOTA-JOTI platforms listed at jotajoti.info. A participant directory (available after registration) helps you connect with Scout Groups globally for video calls.
✅ Remember, online safety is key! Before connecting, make sure to check credentials and safety measures when joining any external platforms.
