Description: Every October, millions of Scouts and Guides tune in, log on, and talk to young people across the globe in one of the world's largest youth events: Jamboree on the Air and Jamboree on the Internet. This book traces JOTA JOTI from its early days on the airwaves through the technology that powers it, including the digital shift that brought the internet into the Scouting movement. It also takes readers behind the scenes of how an event runs, from callsigns and radio protocols to the cross-cultural connections made in a single weekend. Along the way, it explores the skills and learning outcomes participants gain, and looks ahead to where this worldwide celebration of friendship might go next.
