Chatting: The most
popular activity in the Internet Jamboree. It is the
opportunity to communicate worldwide, in real-time, on a
number of languages. This service will be provided by
ScoutLink www.scoutlink.net on supervised channels which are
exclusively for Scouting.
To chat on ScoutLink,
you require mIRC software. This software is free for 30
days, after which you need to register (with no fee). Once
you have the software loaded, you can log onto the ScoutLink
channels for the Air-Internet Jamboree. You can download a
mIRC user guide.
Why not browse the
various Scouting websites from the Asia-Pacific Region? You
can see what languages they speak, the uniforms they wear
and what activities they participate in.
Voice chatting over
the internet is an exciting activity. TeamSpeak is the
software that allows you to chat with microphone and
computer’s soundcard to other Scouts over the internet.
