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:
http://www.scout.org.tw/APR-AIJ/APR-AIJ.htm

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

7th Asia-Pacific Region Air / Internet Jamboree

Dear Scouts,

The Air-Internet Jamboree was established in 2004 for Scouts to contact each other by means of amateur radio and through the internet. Having a live conversation with a fellow Scout in some other place in the world gives the same excitement as having a normal Jamboree on the land without the normal expenses. Just like a normal Jamboree, the Air / Internet Jamboree is also an event when Scouts can share their experiences and exchange their ideas.

This year, the General Association of the Scouts of China (Taiwan Scouts) will be hosting the 7th Asia-Pacific Region Air / Internet Jamboree from 6 to 7 August 2011.

You may want to visit the following websites for more information:
Taiwanese Scouts Website: http://www.scout.org.tw/APR-AIJ/APR-AIJ.htm
Facebook Page: http://www.facebook.com/pages/7th-Asia-Pacific-Regional-AirInternet-Jamboree/208191839215019

Scouts that participate will be awarded with an event badge and a Certificate of Participation. So please, feel free to interact with your friends from over-the-seas, and make the best out of this experience!

Warm Regards,
Mr Johnson Sim
