23rd Rovers actively took part in JOTI - 2010 event

Rover Scouts of 23rd Male' Open Rover Crew actively took part in this years Jamboree on the Internet. The event which is annually organized every 3rd week of October is actually two World Jamborees, one that is held through Radio Scouting which is called as the Jamboree On The Air (JOTA) and the other held by means of Interenet Scouting that goes by the name of Jamboree On The Internet (JOTI).

This year it was the 53rd JOTA and 14th JOTI, held from 16th-17th October 2010. However, In the Maldives, the National Scout Organization, The Scout Association of Maldives (SAM) only took part in the Internet Scouting event JOTI. Since the event coincided with the exam period of most of the Schools in the Maldives, SAM did not organize an official JOTA - JOTI Station, but instead SAM encouraged Scout Groups to organize there own JOTI Stations and to take part in the event as small groups.
