THE MISSION OF SCOUTING
The mission of Scouting is to contribute to the
education of young people, through a value
system based on the Scout Promise and Law, to
help build a better world where people are self-
fulfilled as individuals and play a constructive
role in society.
WOSM Constitution: ……..Learning to live together, developing an understanding of other people, an appreciation of interdependence, skills in team work and conflict resolution, and an adherence to the values of democracy, mutual respect and understanding, peace and justice.………
This has enabled Scouting to grow into a unique worldwide movement – the world’s largest voluntary educational youth movement.
Why JOTA / JOTI?
To achieve this, some of the means are :
World Scout Jamboree
World Scout Moot
World Scout Conferences
Regional Activities like seminars, workshops
and
Jamboree On The Air Jamboree on the Internet
Why JOTA / JOTI?
World Scout Jamboree On The Air / Internet
enables contacts between Scouts of all nations
each year
during a full weekend
for all age ranges
by means of amateur radio links or Internet connections
Why JOTA / JOTI?
As such, the Jamboree On The Air /Internet:
enables Scouts to get a real feeling for the international dimension of the Movement
contributes to the world-widebrotherhood of Scouting
fosters international under-standing and mutual respect for other cultures
Why JOTA / JOTI?
Without having to leave home
Without communication cost
and besides……
it’s a fun activity !
Why JOTA / JOTI?
JOTA started as an “Idea” in a snackbar opposite the main gate of the World Scout Jamboree at Sutton Coldfield, in the UK in 1957 where GB3SP operated.
Les Mitchell, G3BHK, its originator, worked out a set of simple “game rules”, most of them still in use today.
JOTA quickly spread around the globe; today it has an annual participation of over a 100 different countries.
