Radio Scouting UK is dedicated to help Licensed and None Licensed Scouts learn more about amateur radio. It will also help leaders & volunteers plan how it can be used during meetings and at events.

You will also find various Jamboree On The Air (JOTA) resources and amateur radio related activities as well as other interesting topics which may be useful for involving other Scouts into amateur radio. The website will be updated throughout the year with new resources.

If you want to submit resources then feel free to post them on our facebook group.
