JOTT - Jamboree on the Trail

Scouts Hiking Together World Wide

What is JOTT?

Jamboree On The Trail is an annual day for the World Scout Movement to hike together. All Scouts, whatever their age and wherever they may be in the world, are invited to participate in whatever way they can. Cubs and younger Scouting sections could visit a local nature trail as part of a weekend camp. A Scout Troop might check out a hiking trail while working on badge requirements. A Rover Crew might make a Service Project out of restoring or maintaining a hiking trail.

In their own way, everyone will be hiking the same direction: towards a better future through Scouting. JOTT is held on the second Saturday of May each year.

    Our first concern is obviously the health and safety of Scouting members and their families.
    We are monitoring the situation and we will change the date of our event to focus on when it is
    safe to do so.

    The date can be pushed out to a later date (open ended depending on the needs of your
    Section, Group or Scouting organization) depending on the advice of Worldwide Scouting
    Organizations, the WHO and your local governments.

    We have only had one rule for participation that you go for a hike, please participate in
    whatever way that you can whenever you can.

    In the interim we suggest to join JAMBOREE ON THE INTERNET APRIL 3-5: #JOTI - SPECIAL
