Deben District is organising a JOTA-JOTI session.
JOTA-JOTI stands for Jamboree on the Air (JOTA), and Jamboree on the Internet (JOTI). NB JOTA is subject to us obtaining a radio license and equipment. If anybody could help us with the radio side, it would be greatly appreciated.
JOTA-JOTI is the world’s largest digital and radio Scout event. It’s a great chance for young people to take part in an international Jamboree. Further details can be found here – https://www.jotajoti.info.
Date: Saturday 21 October
Location: 1st Kesgrave Scout Hall, Twelve Acre Approach, Kesgrave IP5 1JF
Time: 1pm to 8pm – There will be 4 x 90 mins slots across the afternoon/evening. You need to book a slot in advance.
Cost: Free to attend.
Availability: Open to all Scouts & Cubs in the Deben District. There will be limited space, so it will be on a first come, first served basis.
Cubs: Will work towards their International badge whilst learning another country’s culture through crafts, food, local traditions and connecting with other Cubs and Scouts worldwide. The Cubs will have supervised sessions whilst taking part in JOTA-JOTI.
Scouts: Will work towards their International and World Challenge badge through chatting with other scouts worldwide, playing cryptic games and Minecraft.
Parents / Guardians – There is no need to stay with your Cub or Scout whilst the event is ongoing; just drop them off at the reception desk and pick them up at the end of the session.
Leaders: If any leaders are available to support and help with the event, please let me know.
Refreshments will be available ie tea, coffee and soft drinks for all participants. Participants will need a water bottle or sealable cup as we don’t want liquids spilling over the equipment or other participants.
Uniform: Cubs and Scouts are not required to arrive in uniform but they can if they wish to. Please ensure all participants wear their group neckers. This will help us identify who is on site and which group they are from.
Please ensure you bring the following:
- Group Neckers
- Water Bottle / Sealable Cup
- Any medication required for the session
Signing Up: To sign up your Cub or Scout please use the link here.
We will require some basic information to sign up the young person ie name, group, allergy info, disabilities and emergency contact details.
