The world’s largest digital Scout event promoting friendship and global citizenship!
JOTA and JOTI are youth programme events intended for young people in Scouting of all ages. The purpose of JOTA-JOTI is to enable and encourage Scouts around the world to communicate with one another by means of amateur radio and the internet, providing a fun and educational Scouting experience and promoting their sense of belonging to a worldwide Scout Movement.
At world level, JOTA-JOTI is co-ordinated by the World JOTA-JOTI Team (WJJT) who are a team of volunteers assisted by staff at the World Scout Bureau. At national level JOTA-JOTI is co-ordinated by National JOTA-JOTI Co-ordinators (NJCs).

JOTA-JOTI is about the 21st century skills you can learn in Scouting and the values of global citizenship. The event is open to Scouts around the world, enabling young people to connect and communicate with each other using the Internet and amateur radio. JOTA-JOTI engages youth in educational activities that build teamwork, cross-cultural understanding and skills for the future.

This year’s JOTA-JOTI programme was designed to enable Scouts and Leaders to choose their own educational adventure, learn about global issues, and connect with other Scouts from every corner of the world using modern technology. These activities ranged from inspiring Scout talks to online gaming sessions to amateur radio challenges.
The Mtarfa Group’s station was operated jointly with the North District’s Qawra Scout Group.
