Jamboree-on-the-Internet
JOTI, Jamboree-on-the-Internet is the event on the third weekend of October when Scouts get together and gather in Cyberspace, a virtual Jamboree. JOTI in 2009 will be on the 16th – 18th October.

We will be starting from 10:00am on Saturday the 17th and will finish up Sunday 18th at 3:00pm.

What to bring?
At JOTI we spend the majority of the time with activities associated with computers and communication, however we do include a “treasure hunt” hike on the Saturday afternoon for approximately 1 – 2 hours (depending on which cub is navigating ?). Additionally, unless it is raining, all meals are eaten outside and the majority of the cubs choose to sleep outside in the tents.

Therefore, we need to ensure that the cubs have suitable clothing for the weather during the day as well as for when it gets colder at night.

JOTI Kit List

Sleeping bag
Sleeping mat or lilo (both for comfort and to help protect from the cold ground)
Blanket (most children’s sleeping bags are not sufficiently warm outside without a blanket)
Pillow
Warmer pyjamas than they would normally need in the house for the same weather
Beanie (to drag on when half asleep but getting cold at 5 am)
Socks

Change of clothes
Jumper
Toiletries
Suitable shoes for walking (sneakers are fine)

Book or game for a change of pace when they need it

No lollies or electronic toys/games please
