Jamboree on the Air, known by its acronym JOTA, is an international Scouting and Guiding activity held annually on the third full weekend in October. First held in conjunction with the fifitieth anniversary of Scouting in 1957, it is now one of Scoutings largest events. The Boy Scouts of America recognizes this as an international Scouting event for Citizenship in the World Merit Badge.
Amateur radio operators from all over the world participate with Scouts and Guides to teach them about radio and to assist them to contact their fellow Scouts and Guides by means of shortwave radio and IRC. This provides the Scouts and Guides with a means of learning about fellow Scouts and Guides from around the world. In recent years, a parallel Jamboree on the Internet (JOTI) has developed. It is an adjunct to the World Scout Jamboree.
