These fun and educational initiatives will offer Scouts and Guides the opportunity to experience different cultures, make new friends gain awareness that they belong to a worldwide movement
The JOTA/JOTI is open to scouts of all ages, and is easy to participate in, and there are no registration fees. Participation in JOTI requires only basic computer knowledge. However participating in JOTA will require assistance from a licensed Amateur Radio Operator. There are around 15,000 of these in Australia, and your operator will provide all the necessary equipment and expertise.
