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 internet Promote JOTI and JOTA as one single event, not two different ones Maintain a web page for the event with online sign up. Keep contact with participants, signup info, badges, payment, certificates Send 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 committees Make a new “puzzle-game” every 5 th year to the participating Nordic stations Participate in Nordic JOTA/JOTI seminar Participate in European JOTA/JOTI seminar

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

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