It is a tradition of JOTI and JOTA to have an opening address welcoming participants to the international JOTI/JOTA weekend.

We encourage both playing and broadcasting of the message from Chief Commissioners of Scouts and Guides Australia to all JOTI/JOTA participants.

Please note: The 2024 address is provided by the Chief Commissioner’s for Scouts Australia and Guides Australia during the transition phase of Governor General Patronage.
