Jamboree on the Internet, known by its acronym JOTI, is an
international Scouting activity held annually. Participants, through
the use of designated Chats from all over the world, can contact their
fellow Scouts by means of the Internet. Common communication methods
include ScoutLink (IRC), e-mail, and VOIP. This provides the Scouts
with a means of learning about fellow Scouts from around the world.
JOTI.org reports that JOTI had over 4,000 participants online at one
time in 2005.

JOTI was pioneered in 1995 by Queanbeyan Rovers whilst one Rover,
Norvan Vogt was on a student exchange in the Netherlands, with the
home crew in Australia co-ordinated by Brett Sheffield. They connected
Putten, Netherlands and Queanbeyan, Australia with dedicated IRC
servers. [9]In November 1996 the World Scout Committee, noting that
Scouting already had a considerable presence on the Internet, and that
there was already an informal and rapidly growing Jamboree on the
Internet, decided that JOTI should become an official international
Scouting event, and that it should be held on the same weekend as the
Jamboree on the Air (JOTA).
