Get in touch globally and discover how Scouts around the world are making change happen.
Planning the meeting
- Arrange to make contact with Scouts from another country. There are lots of ways to get in touch with Scouts in other countries. There’s guidance on the international links here.
- Explain that Jamboree on the Air and Jamboree on the Internet (JOTA JOTI) is an event specially designed to connect Scouts all over the world – it usually happens in October each year.
- Everyone should chat about how they’ll act when the groups speak. They might want to think about how they can be friendly, for example, how they’ll introduce themselves and get to know a bit about the other group too.
- This is a great time to remind people about staying safe online and not sharing personal information. If they’re uncomfortable or unsure about anything, they should chat to a trusted adult.
- Everyone should look at the UN Sustainable Development Goals and what Scouts are doing to work towards them.
- Everyone should decide which ones they may be interested in working towards with the Scouts from another country.
