HamCation JOTA Forum Webinar - This is the full presentation, in PDF.
Amateur radio provides an exciting and engaging introduction to a wide range of technologies with a STEM foundation. We provide
the fun of communicating with other Scouts, and the magic of long distance communication, even in remote areas without cell service.
We can help Scouts and leaders with amateur radio education, Scout advancement, and integrate amateur radio into scouting activities.
Our mission statement:
Radio Scouting, Inc., is the amateur radio station and club of the Boy Scouts of America, Central Florida Council. It shall be our
purpose to further the exchange of information and cooperation between the public and scouting, to promote radio knowledge, youth
activities, fraternalism, individual operating efficiency, and to conduct programs and activities as to advance the general interest and
welfare of Amateur Radio and Scouting in the community.
