Page 9 World Organization of the Scout Movement – Triennial Report 1996-1999 Page 8 AN OVERVIEW OF THE TRIENNIUM, continued All six regional Scout conferences met during 1998, and all will continue to meet on a triennial basis in the year preceding each World Scout Conference. (In the case of the Eurasia Region, it was their Constitutive Conference.) The Strategy for Scouting was the focus of each conference.s The Jamboree-on-the-Air is the largest event on the World Scouting calendar. It is organized each year during the third full weekend of October and regularly attracts over 500,000 participants, including members of the World Association of Girl Guides and Girl Scouts (WAGGGS). It is an opportunity for Scouts and Guides of all ages, anywhere in the world, to participate in a World Scouting event, at little or no expense and without having to travel. The 40th JOTA in 1997 celebrated its anniversary by operating the World Scout Organization call-sign from the Scout hall in Reading (UK) where the first JOTA was held in 1958. The advisor on Radio-Scouting is Yves Margot (Switzerland) and the consultant in charge of the annual report is Richard Middelkoop (Netherlands).s The first official Jamboree on the Internet was held in October 1997, at the same time as the Jamboree-on-the-Air. In 1996 the World Scout Bureau experimented with some aspects of Internet activities which had been promoted during the JOTA weekend, and in November 1996 the World Scout Committee decided to make JOTI an official event. During the experimentation in 1996, the Bureau had some 8,000 contacts. These increased to 100,000 in 1997, and nearly a million in 1998. The World JOTI coordinator is Danny Schwendener (Switzerland).s Scout organizations in 23 countries participated in the largest study ever undertaken concerning TV for children. The project entitled “The perception of young people on violence on the screen” was a partnership of UNESCO,the University of Utrecht, and WOSM. Scouts were responsible for pre-testing questionnaires in 14 languages, and distributing the final questionnaires,usually in schools.More than 5,000, 12-year-old students were surveyed.Prof. Jo Groebel ensured the scientific direction, UNESCO provided seed funds and WOSM was responsible for the methodology. The results were presented to the press at a luncheon hosted by Dr. Federico Mayor, Director General of UNESCO, held in Paris in February 1998. The research also featured prominently in the Global Development Village at the World Scout Jamboree in Chile: an interactive exhibition, a series and a round-table discussion were held on this subject during the Jamboree. An additional survey of young people was taken at the Jamboree. WOSM has received praise in many quarters for its involvement in this project.Its success has been possible only thanks to the cooperation and support of many hundreds of committed volunteers in the 23 Scout associations concerned.s Scouts in many countries continue to work with the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees. In August 1995 a Memorandum of Understanding was signed by Sadako Ogata, High Commissioner for Refugees, and Jacques Moreillon, Secretary General of WOSM. A programme kit was prepared by UNHCR and the World Scout Bureau and sent to all national Scout organizations. It included a simulation game about refugees titled Passages. In early 1997, Scout associations in 30 countries reported having activities to aid refugees, usually in conjunction with UNHCR. Regional conferences Jamboree-on-the-Air Jamboree-on-the-Internet Violence on the screen studied with UNESCO Scouts help refugees with UNHCR
