The 2025 JOTA/JOTI (Jamboree-on-the-Air-Jamboree-on-the-Internet) is the world’s largest digital Scout event on the Internet and over the airwaves. Held annually on the third weekend in October, the event connects millions of Scouts worldwide for an entire weekend of online activities that promote friendship and global citizenship. JOTA-JOTI enables young people to participate in fun and engaging group activities over the Internet and amateur radio—focusing on developing 21st-century skills through Scouting.

Participating in the JOTI/JOTA offers numerous benefits for your Scout. This event provides an excellent opportunity for Scouts to connect with other Scouts from all around the world. By participating, your Scout can communicate with other Scouts, learn about different cultures, and make new friends from around the globe. Using technology, your Scout will learn how to effectively communicate with others online, which is a valuable skill in today's digital age. Connecting with Scouts from other cultures and learning about different ways of life can help your Scout develop a sense of global citizenship.

By gaining a better appreciation for diversity and becoming more aware of global issues, your Scout can grow as a person. The JOTI/JOTA is a fantastic opportunity for your Scout to connect with others, learn new skills, and develop a global perspective.

Boys and girls of every age can join the fun—from Cub Scouts taking their very first steps in Scouting to Scouts BSA members and Venturers ready for bigger adventures. JOTA-JOTI is open to everyone, making it the perfect opportunity for Scouts of all ranks and backgrounds to come together in one global celebration of connection and friendship.

JOTA-JOTI 2025 features webinars, global campfires, talent shows, live shows, fun challenges, and more through an interactive 3D campsite. JOTA-JOTI aims to support young people of all ages to learn about communications technology, the values of global citizenship, and their role in creating a better world. At the ham radio station, communication typically involves talking on a microphone and listening to the station speakers. However, many forms of technical communication may also take place, such as video communication, digital communication (much like sending a message on your smartphone but transmitted by radio), or communication through a satellite or earth-based relay (called a repeater). The exchanges include such information as name, location (called QTH in ham speak), Scout rank, age, and hobbies. The stations you’ll be communicating with can be across town, country, or even worldwide!
