Around 1996 Scouts were starting to talk to one another during the JOTA weekend using chat-rooms. The Scout Association became aware of the potential dangers that this presented and so a parallel organisation, Jamboree on the Internet (JOTI) was formed. With the steady increase in the use of computers for communication, this has flourished. For more information about JOTI in the UK please contact the UK JOTI Coordinator at joti@scouts.org.uk
