Jota and Joti are truly international activities. Contact was made with other scouting members across England, Scotland and Wales as well as other countries and territories/locations including:
Indonesia, Australia, Turkey, Denmark, Portugal, Canada, Netherlands, Germany, Bulgaria, Italy, Poland, Switzerland, Serbia, Russian, Spain, Belarus, Romania, Balearic Islands, Bosnia & Herzegovinian, Finland, Ukraine, Hungary, Slovenia, Greece, Azores, Sicily, Malaysia, Sudan, Norway, Austria, USA.
Cathy, Cub Leader of Leagrave Scout Group when asked how have your cubs benefited from this? replied: “It helps them to realise there are more scouts out there then just the UK”.
Brendan the event organiser was asked how do you think it has gone? “One word, Brilliant! Lots of enthusiasm, that’s the main thing. One of the best ones we have had for a few years. We have also had wide representation from across the town”.
The evidence of success for this unusual activity can be seen in the fascinated smiling faces of young scouts from all sections across Luton. Supported by experienced operators, we see adults working with young people.
Jota and Joti returns next year 19th and 20th October 2019. Do put it in your section and group diary.
