JOTA/JOTI Communications Weekend

The 1st Stotfold Scout Group are holding a Group communications weekend this October. A weekend offering all members of the 1st Stotfold Scout Group the opportunity to communicate with Scouts from all over the world, using a variety of technologies. The weekend coincides with world event called JOTI (Jamboree on the internet) and JOTA (Jamboree on the air) where Scouts from all over the world can talk and communicate together.

We are organising set times on both 18th & 19th October where each of the Beaver colonies and Cub packs can visit and will provide activities for 1 hour where they will be able to use all of the facilities as well as craft activities on the theme of communication and global challenge. All of the activities will count towards their badge work.

11:30am to 12:30pm Comanche Cub Pack
1pm to 2pm Chickasaw Beaver Colony

Responsibilities will be given to Scouts over the weekend to supervise and managed all of the communications.
