Thousands of scouts from all over the world met via the airwaves and the Internet on 17 and 18 October, seeing a participation of over half a million scouts, in the World Scout Jamboree on the Internet (JOTI), an international scout meeting on the Internet which takes place every year on the third weekend of October.
During the weekend, scouts from all over the world meet and communicate with each other over the Internet, using any technologies locally available, from web browsers to e-mail, chat programmes, microphones, scanners and digital cameras.
Scout groups also combined this event with the Jamboree on the Air (JOTA), an event where they communicated with each other over radio amateur frequencies with the valued assistance of the Malta Amateur Radio League (MARL).
Scout groups from the San Anton School, Hamrun, Mellieha, Gzira, Mosta, Rabat, Zebbug, Msida, Sta Venera, Birkirkara, Zurrieq, Zabbar, Fgura, Cospicua, Naxxar, Birzebbugia, Xghajra, Sliema, St Michael’s College, St Augustine College, together with the Gozitan Xaghra scout group flew the Malta Scout Standard, while promoting their scout group, association and country, throughout the weekend.
