{{Main|Jamboree on the Air}}
Jamboree on the Air, usually referred to as '''JOTA''', is an international [[Scouting]] and [[Girl Guide and Girl Scout|Guiding]] activity held annually on the third full weekend in October. The event was first held in conjunction with the fiftieth anniversary of Scouting in 1957, and was devised by radio amateur operator [[Leslie R. Mitchell]] who used the callsign G3BHK. It is now considered the largest event organized by the WOSM annually.<ref>{{Cite web |title=JOTA-JOTI (Jamboree On The Air - Jamboree On The Internet) is the largest event in world Scouting. |url=http://jotajoti.info/ |access-date=2017-07-25 |website=JOTA-JOTI |language=en-GB}}</ref>

[[Amateur radio operator]]s from all over the world participate with over 500,000 Scouts and Guides to teach them about radio and to assist them to contact their fellow Scouts and Guides by means of [[amateur radio]] and since 2004, by the [[VOIP]]-based [[Echolink]]. Scouts and Guides are also encouraged to send paper or electronic confirmations known as "[[QSL cards]]", or "eQSLs" when they are sent electronically. This provides the Scouts and Guides with a means of learning about fellow Scouts and Guides from around the world. It is an adjunct to the World Scout Jamboree.

The event is recognized as one of international participation by the various Scout and Guide organisations, and supports several awards which are a part of Scouting and Guiding programmes.{{citation needed|date=January 2017}}

'''Jamboree on the Internet''', known by its acronym '''JOTI''', is an international [[Scouting]] activity held annually. Participants, through the use of designated Chats from all over the world, can contact their fellow Scouts by means of the [[Internet]]. Common communication methods include ScoutLink (IRC), e-mail, and VOIP. This provides the Scouts with a means of learning about fellow Scouts from around the world. JOTI operates alongside JOTA (Jamboree on the Air) and is an official event of the World Organization of the Scout Movement.

JOTI was pioneered in 1995 by Queanbeyan Rovers whilst one Rover, Norvan Vogt was on a student exchange in the Netherlands, with the home crew in Australia co-ordinated by Brett Sheffield. They connected [[Putten]], Netherlands and [[Queanbeyan]], Australia with dedicated [[IRC]] servers.<ref>Walker, B: ''Calling Home'', page 4. Queanbeyan Age, 23/10/1995.</ref> In November 1996 the [[World Scout Committee]], noting that Scouting already had a considerable presence on the Internet, and that there was already an informal and rapidly growing Jamboree on the Internet, decided that JOTI should become an official international Scouting event, and that it should be held on the same weekend as the Jamboree on the Air (JOTA).{{citation needed|date=January 2017}}

Following on the idea of the ''Join-in'' events from the World Jamboree Year, '''Jamboree on the Trail''' (or JOTT),<ref>{{Cite web |title=JOTT - Jamboree on the Trail |url=http://jott.org/ |access-date=2017-07-25 |website=JOTT - Jamboree on the Trail |language=en-US}}</ref> is a co-ordinated event where Scouts around the world simultaneously participate in local hikes. It takes place on an annual basis on the 2nd Saturday in May.

This type of event allows Scouts to take part in activities at the same time as other Scouts, promoting the idea of the Scouting brotherhood. Participants are awarded a JOTT badge as a recognition of having participated in this worldwide event.
