Connect with Scouts Around the Globe Through JOTA-JOTI 2026

Scouts don't have to travel across the world to experience the excitement of international Scouting. Jamboree on the Air and Jamboree on the Internet (JOTA-JOTI), the world's largest digital Scouting event, returns October 16-18, 2026, giving participants the opportunity to connect with Scouts from around the globe right from home or with their local Scout unit.

Organized annually by World Scouting during the third full weekend of October, JOTA-JOTI brings together millions of young people to build friendships, share cultures, and learn about life in other countries through amateur radio, online activities, games, and challenges. This year's theme is "A Peaceful and Inclusive World."

The event is open to Scouts and non-Scouts of all ages, with adult volunteers helping to support activities and guide participants. One of the event's most popular attractions is the opportunity to play Minecraft and other interactive games with Scouts from more than 170 countries.
