    60th Jamboree-On-The-Air® - 21st Jamboree-On-The-Internet®, 20-22 October 2017 Dear Scouting colleagues, The 60th Jamboree-On-The-Air® (JOTA) and the 21st Jamboree-On-The-Internet® (JOTI) will be held the third weekend of October – 20 to 22 October 2017. Please share this information with all the Scout groups in your country so they may participate in this exciting event. The Largest Scouting Event In The World Each year it remains the largest Scouting event in the world, with over a million Scouts participating across 150+ countries. JOTA-JOTI® is the only event offering every Scout the experience that he or she really belongs to a worldwide Movement. What Is Jamboree-On-The-Air And Jamboree-On-The-Internet? JOTA-JOTI is the annual event in which Scouts and Guides all over the world engage in conversations with each other by means of amateur radio and the Internet. Short-wave radio signals carry their voices to nearly every corner of the world while text chat, social media, and live video enhance their experience via the Internet. 2017 Theme — 60 Years Connecting Scouts The theme “60 Years Connecting Scouts” recognizes the start of the event in 1957 and commemorates its growth in participation and in the expanding communication channels that are activated during the event. Those channels include amateur radio via radio frequencies and Internet-based channels as well as many other Internet-based options including social media, ScoutLink and IRC chat services, Skype, and more. It also recognizes the goal of the event – connecting Scouts so that they can engage in conversations with other Scouts across town and around the world.

  • Webelos Leader Guide
    The BSA’s Commitment to Safety We want you to know that the safety of our youth, volunteers, staff, and employees is an important part of the Scouting experience. Youth develop traits of citizenship, character, fitness, and leadership during age-appropriate events when challenged to move beyond their normal comfort level and discover their abilities. This is appropriate when risks are identified and mitigated. The Scouting program, as contained in our handbooks and literature, integrates many safety features. However, no policy or procedure will replace the review and vigilance of trusted adults and leaders at the point of program execution. Commit yourself to creating a safe and healthy environment by: Knowing and executing the BSA program as contained in our publications Planning tours, activities, and events with vigilance using the tools provided Setting the example for safe behavior and equipment use during program Chief Scout Executive Engaging and educating all participants in discussions about hazards and risks Michael Surbaugh Reporting incidents in a timely manner Thank you for being part of Scouting and creating an exciting and safe experience for every participant. BOY SCOUTS OF AMERICA SCOUTER CODE OF CONDUCT On my honor, I promise to do my best to comply with this Boy Scouts of America Scouter Code of Conduct while serving in my capacity as an adult leader: 1. I have completed or will complete my registration with the Boy Scouts of America, answering all questions truthfully and honestly. 2. I will do my best to live up to the Scout Oath and Scout Law, obey all laws, and hold others in Scouting accountable to those standards.

  • JOTA & JOTI 2014 Information Booklet
    SCOUTS AUSTRALIA, QUEENSLAND BRANCH INC. JOTA & JOTI 2014 Information Booklet 2014 JOTA/JOTI Event Badge 57th Jamboree on the Air & 18th Jamboree on the Internet 18 – 19 October 2014 Everyone can take part, an international Event! A message from Branch Advisor – JOTA/JOTI & Electronics: “Jamboree on the Air and Jamboree on the Internet on the third weekend of October is the largest Scouting event in the world, with nearly 1 million Scouts from 160+ countries engaged in conversations across town and around the world. Scouts communicate with one another via amateur radio and the Internet, providing a fun and educational Scouting experience and promoting their sense of belonging to a worldwide Scout Movement.” Some important hints for a successful activity: • Do your research. Start at www.scoutsqld.com.au – “Events” and select JOTA/JOTI. Check often for new information. • Decide on your venue. Plenty of good high trees to support antennas are desirable, but lack of trees can be overcome with a bit of ingenuity. • Publicise your activity. Make sure that every youth member and leader knows about it. • Engage an Amateur Radio Operator. If you cannot find one, contact the Queensland Advisor – JOTA/JOTA at [email protected] and I will assist with locating an amateur operator or radio club in your area that may be willing to assist you. I need to know WHERE (suburb/town/state) you will be running your activity. This needs to be done NOW, not a few days before the event. • Make sure you have a good internet connection. • Build a program around the activity.
