From Troop 850 in Stafford, Virginia: I am a Boy Scout in Troop 850 in Stafford, Virginia. We are located about 40 miles south of Washington, DC. Quantico Marine Corps Base is to our north and the Rappahannock River and the city of Fredericksburg is to the south. Troop 850 meets every Tuesday at 7:30 P.M. We go camping about once a month. I am currently the Troop Librarian am also a member of the Order of the Arrow. I am a Life Scout and have 45 merit badges. I am 13 years old and in the 7th Grade. I go to a middle school which is for the 6th, 7th, and 8th grade. I play the trombone in the school pep band. We play at all of the home sports games. I am going to join the wrestling team. My uncle was an instructor at a NATO electronics school in Italy and visited an Air Force base in Iceland once. He gave me a lot of coins from Iceland and I am using some of them for the Coin Collecting Merit Badge. He visited during the month of January and said that Iceland was not as cold as he thought it would be. Philip - From
Stafford, Virginia: At the age of 10, I saved my mother's life. Here is my story: While on a school field trip to Jamestown, Virginia. My mom became dizzy and sick to her stomach. She was suffering from low blood sugar brought on by a very hot day after going too long without eating. Her Tenderfoot Scout son, recognized the symptoms and immediately came to her assistance. I took the injection kit from my mothers purse and gave her a shot and candy to eat. I continued to care for her until the ambulance arrived to transport her to the hospital. I received a certificate of merit award from the National Capital Area Council. Please respond to my e-mail by Sunday, October 18, 1998. Sincerely, John Strother - johnson_ca@hotmail.com From

Marlborough in New
Zealand: Hi, my name is Andrew. I go to Churchward Park Scout group, Marlborough, New Zealand. At the moment we are learning about survival. What are you learning about? We went to deep creek camp and had a lot of fun. We stayed for two nights. One of my friends, Josh climbed up a tree and found a possum. Possums are a species that has been introduced into New Zealand from Australia, they are a real pest here. Josh whacked the possum on the head with a stick. The possum survived, so did Josh. We are going on another camp soon on the 6th to the 8th of November 1998. Senior Cubs are allowed to go on a camp at Kaiteriteri Beach. Bye for now From
St. Bruno, Province of Quebec, Canada: Hope you enjoy JOTI/JOTA. I have a Cub and a Beaver as sons and I am a Cub Leader in the Cayuga Cub Pack. My wife is a new Spark Leader and goes with our daughter aged 5. The Cubs have 26 boys and about 7 Leaders. We are in a medium-sized town in the Province of Quebec which is on the Eastern side of Canada. Most of the province's 7 million people are French- speaking although, in the main cities like Montreal and Quebec City, many also speak English. There is a large multi-cultural population in Montreal which is about 20 minutes drive away. The 1 st Bruno Scouts Association is mainly an english-speaking organisation but many of the children, including mine, are bilingual. The leaders are too except me, I struggle a bit! We just had a Cub camp which we all enjoyed the weekend before last. We fired rockets, built camp gadgets, made giant water-balloon catapults, campfires etc.. We all had fun. The Cubs all wanted to wash-up and cook!! Unusual eh?! We are just at the beginning of our years programs and are still sorting out many ideas. If you have any good ones - let me know. Bye for now. Maybe catch you on the radio for JOTA as VE2VTS. I just finished putting my antennas up in the back garden. Roger (Bagheera) - RDay974543@aol.com From

Scout Skiing Club Cracow, Poland:
We're focused on skiing. Each winter we organise Mistrostwa ZHP w Narciarstwie Zjazdowym (Polish Scouting and Guiding Association Championships in Downhill Skiing.) We hope to invite some scouts form other countries this year (especially from Slovakia and Czech Republic). We also do some sailing, we like MTBs (there's also a bike section in our club called 'Avanti'), we like hihhing and backpacking. We met loads of scouts last year, and we want to make more contacts this tme. The Polish Scouting and Guiding Association The Polish Scouting and Guiding Association (ZHP) is the Polish national organisation of Scouts and Guides, member of the World Organization of the Scout Movement (WOSM) and the World Association of Girl Guides and Girl Scouts (WAGGGS).
The ZHP of today is a modern Scout and Guide national organisation with over 400,000 members, open to everyone regardless of origin, race or creed. Education in ZHP is based upon the moral norms derived from universal cultural and ethical values of Christianity. The Scouting and Guiding educational values are specified in the Scout and Guide Promise: "It is my sincere wish to serve God and Poland with the whole of my life, to give my willing help to other people, and to obey the Scout and Guide Law." The symbols of our ideals are the Cub Scout/Brownie Badge and the Scout and Guide Cross. There are 3 age groups in ZHP:
ZHP is active all over Poland. The basic unit of ZHP is a Troop, consisting of 20-30 people on average. Troops from a village, town or town quarter make up a District. Districts operating within a specified area of Poland constitute a Region. The highest authority of ZHP is the Congress, which meets every 4 years. The Congress elects the President and the Chief Scout of ZHP. The Honorary Protector of ZHP is the President of the Republic of Poland. Yours in scouting pwd. Doodek (17/f, HKN Press) From

My rank is a first class scout. I enjoy backpacking, hiking, and various other activities. My troop number is 26. That troop is in Arroyo Grande, California. My whole troop is not participating in JOTI. I am the only on that showed up. Recently my troop went on a Sierra Backpacking trip in the Sierraa Nevada mountains. It was foggy and cold. In about a year me and a group of other scouts are going to Philmont Scout Ranch in Cimmaron, New Mexico. It is a high adventure camp for Scouts who enjoy backpacking in the mountains. I am looking forward to it. I hope you have a great time doing this. I know I am. See, Ya!! Book mark our Web Page as it’s going to get better in a couple of weeks! She is in Iceland now and is from

This is the Mosta Venture Unit operating the JOTI today the 18th October 1998. We are a group of 15 members and are sending e-mails all over the world. We come from the island of Malta which is situated in the mediterranean sea. We hope that you will reply to our address mosta@usa.net If you would like to know more about us have a look at our home page at http://user.orbit.net.mt/mosta
Hope you enjoy JOTI as much as we do! We are from Harcerski Klub Narciarski Krakow (Scout Skiing Club Cracow) from Poland. There
are 5 troops in the club:
Polish Scouting and Guiding started in 1910 when Poland was still partitioned between three
neighbouring countries. ZHP was formally established in 1918 just after Poland had again become an independent country. In the 1920s the association was a founder member of WOSM and WAGGGS. When World War II broke out ZHP did not suspend its activity but became an underground movement continuing its educational mission with the additional aim of defending the country. After the war, and as a result of political changes, ZHP lost its membership in WOSM and WAGGGS but regained it in 1996.
Un saludo desde Islandia una scout que siempre wstu' alertu y siempre al servicio de los demás.
