Sunraysia District Jota-Joti 2021

COVID again has forced us to move what is normally a face-to-face activity (to go online) at the District Hall, to an at home event (online).

We will begin the day off with a Zoom meeting that will be kept open all day. We have people on the team to help get everyone online and communicating to Scouts & Guides around the world.

The Zoom link will be available on the Sunraysia District Facebook page. If you are not a member, go and find it!

Under 13s
Very Important!

To help protect the youth under 13, parents must give permission to ScoutLink to allow their child to access ScoutLink. Normally this is not a problem at the District Hall as there is Leader Supervision, however COVID has moved JOTI in the homes, so protection measures have been implemented.

And any user found on ScoutLink services who is determined by an operator to be under 13 years of age and without parent permission, will be banned from the network until written parent permission has been received by ScoutLink.

It’s easy to do.
Simply send an email to: [email protected] and include in the email

1. Youth Members First Name
2. ScoutLink “Nick” they will be using
3. Acknowledgment from parent/guardian that data is collected by ScoutLink on the user for administration purposes
4. Copy your Unit Leader into the email
