World Scout Movement announces centenary of scouting ham radio award (Jan 3, 
2007) -- The World Scout Bureau is sponsoring the "Scouting 100 Radio Award" 
for contacting Scout stations via Amateur Radio during 2007 -- the centenary 
of Scouting.

This international award is also available to short-wave listeners (SWLs). 
Stations may be worked/logged on all bands and modes including EchoLink and 
IRLP, and endorsements are available for special modes or bands, such as 
"All Satellite Contacts" or "All QRP Contacts."

Award activity will focus around the international Scout frequencies (in the 
Americas, use 7270 kHz as the 40-meter SSB frequency; on 80 meters, avoid 
RTTY/digital DX on 3590 kHz). Contact Scout and Guide stations for points: 
Ordinary Scout stations are one point, special event Scout stations are 2 
points and World Jamboree, Gilwell Park and Brownsea Island stations are 5 
points.

Logs should be verified as accurate by two other local radio amateurs. Logs 
should include name, Scout details and age of operator contacted. Female 
operators may send "YL" instead of age. Participants should submit age when 
applying for awards. Complete details are on the Scouting 100 Radio Award 
Web site.
