OBJECTIVES OF JOTI
  • To become aware that one is a member of an international movement and that all Scouts share the same fundamental principles of Scouting.

  • To become more aware of Scouting information/programmes in one's own country, as well as in other countries.

  • To offer the opportunity for Scouts to establish a dialogue with other Scouts, mainly in other countries.

  • To offer the opportunity for, and to encourage meaningful communication among young people.

  • To share ideas; make friendships.

  • To learn about computers, internet and related technology.

  • To help initiate and implement projects of co-operation among Scout Groups in different countries.
  • SOME RULES FOR PARTICIPATION IN JOTI
    Follow the rules of good internet behaviour which are called "netiquette". A copy of these are at:

    http://www.joti.org/en/

    Specifically:
    1. It is courteous to acknowledge messages which are received.

    2. If you promise to send information, exchange badges, etc., keep your word.

    3. Do not use language which could offend others.

    4. Be aware of cultural and language differences. It is better to be too polite than to use slang or language which might imply another meaning to your brother or sister Scout on the other side of the world.

    5. Be cautious about giving your address or telephone number on the internet. Never do this during a “public” forum. Ensure that the young people check with an adult before giving out personal information.
