7th Asia Pacific Region Jamboree On the Internet/Air

Greetings Scouts,

For those who attended the JOTI before, its here again! Its happening this Saturday from 6th August to 7th August 2011. This time, all participants can do freely at home. The purpose of Jamboree on the Internet is simply by spreading friendship throughout the world via internet and radio air. Its the simplest and cheapest form of connecting with new Scouts from abroad instead of attending a Jamboree.
You can commence immediately by going to this link: http://www.scoutlink.net/

It gives the steps on how you can start communicating with Scouts from abroad. However, you will need to download a simple chat software called IRC. All is stated in the link and there are channels set up by different National Scout Organisations for you to choose from.

For those who have skype, you can go under the options on search skype users, and type JOTI under the search box. From there, a list of contacts will be available for you to choose from.


Once you have participated in the JOTI, you can print out certificate via this link:

Please make sure you do participate in the event before printing out the certificate (integrity!)

The host country for this event is our brother Scouts from Taiwan. Therefore, I would like to wish everyone a happy JOTI, make new friends and establish harmonious relations! God Bless!

Yours in Scouting,
AVSL Benjamin Sho
