                                We've just published a comprehensive guide to developing publicity for all your Scouting events.

                                ARRL Youth Nets Webpage
                                The ARRL has established a Youth Nets Webpage to serve as a resource for finding network activity that involves youth. The K2BSA Amateur Radio Association is forming a committee to develop Scouting Nets in the USA. You can also find a listing of world-wide Scout nets at Scout Radio Nets. This is a great way to get more youth involved with amateur radio. If you're interested in participating in forming amateur radio nets, first join the K2BSA ARA and then sign up for the committee.

                                ARRL 's National Parks on the Air Program is a superb way to activate amateur radio in your Scouting activities. Note, too, that one of the options for the "Five Star Activator" Award is to activate a National Park System unit with a youth group or Scouting program.

                                You can see the latest schedule of activations at Registered Events Within 10 Days. You can find all the details at NPOTA 2016.
