JOTA - Jamboree over the air
JOTI - Jamboree over the internet
JOTA-JOTI is the world’s largest digital Scout event taking place online and over the air. The educational event brings together more than 2 million Scouts every year in October for a weekend of Scouting and friendship. Young people can learn about communications technology and connect with fellow Scouts from over 170 countries.
Previously known as only JOTA in the days when internet did not exist, the scouts communicated only by Ham Radio which is affected by radio wave propagation so it was never guaranteed that they could have a conversation with other countries. Now with internet they have another option to communicate and is available 24/7, though to me, not as much fun.
This was an impulsive cache put in place while I picked up my daughter from the near by JOTA-JOTI 2019 held at the Ransberg scout camp.
