Join
In Events
Join
in events are simply coordinated events where Scouts around the world
simultaneously participate locally in the event. This type of event allows
Scouts to take part in activities at the same time as other Scouts, promoting
the idea of Scouting brotherhood. Participants are awarded a badge as
a recognition of having participated in the worldwide event.
Scout
Scarf Day 2017
August 1, 2017
The
idea of "Scout Scarf Day" is that all active and former scouts
are requested to wear their scout scarfs in public to make the "Spirit
of Scouting" visible: Once a Scout - Always a Scout! The date of
the event commemorates the very first Scout Camp on Brownsea Island
in 1907.

Jamboree
on the Air - JOTA
October 20 - 22, 2017
Scouts
around the world share much in common, and Scouting encourages them
to use that mutual understanding as the basis for learning about each
other, making friends, and building a better and more peaceful world.
The word "Jamboree" is said to have been invented by Baden-Powell
as a name for an event which brings Scouts together from around the
world. The first World Jamboree was in 1920, and it was a remarkable,
historic, event bringing together some 8,000 Scouts from 34 countries.
The spirit and drive for Scouts to get together at international events
has never diminished, and there are hundreds of "international"
Scouting events each year. Getting together does not always require
a physical presence. In 1957, the concept of the World Scout Jamboree
On The Air was launched, and it has been a popular event that today
involves more than 500,000 Scouts and Girl Guides who communicate with
each other on the third weekend of each October by amateur radio and
related technology.
The
National Council has provided an extensive library of information designed
specifically to support JOTA. You will find fact sheets, participant
certificates, station registration, tips on best practices, and much
more. Visit JOTA at National
BSA...
Jamboree
on the Internet - JOTI
October 20 - 22, 2017
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).
The
World Scout Jamboree on the Internet is held on the third full weekend
of October each year, starting at 00:00 hours local time on the Saturday
and concluding 48 hours later at 24:00 hours local time on the Sunday.
Special
Internet Jamborees may also be organized in conjunction with local,
national and international Scouting events which are held at other times
of the year.
Information
about JOTI is maintained on BSA
National Council web site and the World
Organization of the Scout Movement website.
