Ready to meet Scouts from around the world? 🌍 Our JOTA-JOTI video calls are an exciting way to connect with other Scouts globally, make new friends, and share stories during the event! Here’s everything you need to know to join the fun.
How It Works?
During the JOTA-JOTI weekend, leaders can sign up their Scout groups for scheduled video calls with Scouts from other countries. The video calls will give Scouts a chance to connect, chat, and learn about Scouting in different parts of the world!
Leaders will be responsible for organizing the calls and ensuring everyone is prepared.
What to Expect?
- Meet Scouts from different countries and share experiences.
- Join video calls with fun topics to discuss, from Scouting to global culture!
- Expect a safe, moderated environment where everyone is welcome to participate.
Safety First!
We take safety seriously at JOTA-JOTI. All video calls are conducted with Safe from Harm principles to ensure that everyone, especially younger participants, can enjoy a safe and positive experience.
Leaders must review the guidelines before participating to understand safety protocols and ensure a secure environment for Scouts.
