The Boy Scouts of Heng Ee High School is

holding a Jota-Joti Camp on the 17th (6pm) till 

 18th (8am) of October 2009 on the school

grounds. Mr Goh Boon Poh is invited for the

opening ceremony and at the same time share

the Jota-Joti experience with the boy scouts.

The JOTA is an annual event in which Scouts and

 Guides all over the world speak to each other by

means of amateur radio contacts. Scouting

experiences are exchanged and ideas are shared,

via the radio waves.     When Scouts want to meet

young people from another country they usually

think of attending a World Jamboree or another

international gathering. But few people realize that

each year about half-a-million Scouts and Guides

"get together" over the airwaves for the annual

Jamboree-on-the--Air (JOTA). Modern

communication technology offers Scouts the exciting

 opportunity to make friends in other countries

without even leaving home.

    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.     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).     Special Internet jamborees may also be

 organized in conjunction with local, national and

international Scouting events which are held at other

times of the year.
