Special Needs Camporee + JOTA/JOTI

Hi troop 182,

This weekend se have two important activities:

1. Special Needs Camporee at Camp Echockotee. Saturday: all day
activities. A great opportunity to serve.

2. Jamboree on the Internet (JOTI).

You can participate on JOTI at any time from your own computer by
opening an account on https://www.jotajoti.org/community. All you have
to do is to contact other Scouts in the community, send "Validation
Cards" to them and request them to receive "Validation Cards". You can
see the number of validation cards you send or receive. You can find
me too and send/request a validation card to/from ScoutmasterJose (my
nickname)

I already opened one account for Troop 182 (troop182jax). Search for
"troop182jax" and send/request a validation card too. This will also
be a proof that you participated in JOTI as part of Troop 182. JOTI is
open to scouts and adults who want to participate on this worldwide
experience.

I will also be participating on English and Spanish via Twitter
(ScoutmasterJose) and the hashtags are #JOTI2009 and #JOTwitter.

You can also request validation cards to your friends in Facebook or MySpace.

My connection times will be Friday, Saturday, Sunday evenings. I will
also try connecting from Camp Echockotee on Saturday morning during
the Special needs Camporee.
