World JOTA-JOTI

Here's the 2014 World JOTA-JOTI Logo. Designed by Taufik Umar Prayoga from Indonesia.

JOTA Website Update

The Scouting.org/JOTA web pages have just been updated with the 2014 JOTA logo. Check out the updated fact sheets at http://www.scouting.org/jota/facts.aspx. You also can find planning calendars, radio merit badge class materials, videos, and more.

We recommend the K2BSA.Scouting Facebook page and the World JOTA-JOTI Facebook page to keep up with the dialogue and all that's happened around Jamboree on the Air and Radio Scouting.
