Get ready to connect with Scouts around the world

The world’s largest digital and radio Scout event is back! From 16 to 18 October, Scouts worldwide are coming together for JOTA-JOTI 2026, a weekend of friendship, adventure, and global connections.

Every October, Jamboree on the Air – Jamboree on the Internet (JOTA-JOTI) brings young people together across borders, cultures, and time zones through amateur radio and the internet.

This year’s theme, “A Peaceful and Inclusive World”, invites Scouts to celebrate their differences, discover what brings them together, and explore how small actions can help create communities where everyone belongs.

Whether you’re joining from home, gathering with your Scout group, or connecting over amateur radio, there’s something for everyone. Here’s how to get started and a few highlights you won’t want to miss!
