Jamboore on Internet a special joti of wosm.
 

The World Organization of the Scout Movement (WOSM) has announced a special edition of Jamboree on the Internet (JOTI), the largest digital Scout event held annually, to connect Scouting and young people around the world from the comfort of their homes while coping with these challenging times.

Young people in many countries today face challenges at home and in their local communities due to COVID-19. Their formal education, where they have access to it, has been severely impacted by the pandemic.  According to UNESCO monitoring, over 160 countries have closed schools nationwide, impacting over 87% of the world’s student population. 

At this extraordinary moment when many people are isolated, it is our firm belief that we should rise to the challenge and respond with an extraordinary global event that will unite Scouting at every level.

This special JOTI will be both educational and fun, bringing Scouting to the homes of young people around the world. It will be a space for young people and Scouts to connect, learn and build friendships during this challenging time of social distance. It will be a mass mobilisation that seeks to engender a sense of unity throughout the Movement.
