Things the Danish JOTA/JOTI committee does

Plan a new opening station each year, and choose a person to make the opening speech on air and internetPromote JOTI and JOTA as one single event, not two different onesMaintain a web page for the event with online sign up. www.jotajoti.dkKeep contact with participants, signup info, badges, payment, certificatesSend annual JOTA/JOTI rapport to all participants and organisations

Stuff the Danish JOTA/JOTI-committee do with others

Make annual badge with all 5 Nordic NJOs or committeesMake a new “puzzle-game” every 5th year to the participating Nordic stationsParticipate in Nordic JOTA/JOTI seminarParticipate in European JOTA/JOTI seminar

Responsibilities, substanceThe 4 scout- and guide organisations formed the “DSP” Council (Danish Scout- and Guide Programme Council)the “DSP” is superior to the Danish JOTA/JOTI-committeeThe single JOTA/JOTI-committee members ensure that their own organisations opinion is met in the JOTA/JOTI activities planned

Responsibilities, financeThe JOTA/JOTI-committee is self-sufficient financiallyJOTA/JOTI participants pay a 10€ fee each groupThe 4 organisations pay for travel expenses to their own committee membersThe ScoutLink member is paid by his/her offline organisation, since ScoutLink is not an association in Denmark
