[BCVHFA] BSA to Offer Morse Code Interpreter Strip

+ BSA to Offer Morse Code Interpreter Strip

Scouts and Scouters can earn the new Morse code interpreter strip by 
completing all three requirements: Carrying on a five minute 
conversation in Morse code at a speed of at least five words per 
minute, correctly copying a two minute message sent in Morse code at 
a minimum of five words per minute (copying means writing the message 
down as it is received) and sending a 25 word written document in 
Morse code at a minimum of five words per minute.

For many years, Boy Scouts and Scouters have been able to earn an 
interpreter strip to wear on their uniforms. This strip -- worn on 
the uniform above the right pocket -- denotes proficiency in a 
foreign language or sign language. Each language has its own strip 
(with the name of the language embroidered in that language), and 
some Scouts and Scouters wear more than one strip. Now those hams 
involved with the Boy Scouts can show their proficiency in Morse code 
with a Morse code interpreter strip (with M-O-R-S-E spelled out in 
Morse code). Read more at
