Over the last two years, the Hume Region Scout Fellowship has been thrilled to assist so many of our Scouts and Leaders in earning their Amateur Radio licenses. You’ve joined a global community of communication enthusiasts, and now it’s time to decide where we go next in 2025! 🚀
We want your ideas for activities and events that combine the spirit of Scouting with the power of Amateur Radio. Here are some thoughts to get you inspired:
🌲 Amateur Radio Fox Hunt: Put your radio skills to the test in an adventurous outdoor treasure hunt where you track hidden transmitters using radio direction-finding techniques!
🌏 Field Days Participation: Join the broader Amateur Radio community during their exciting field day events. Connect with experienced operators, learn new skills, and showcase what Scouting brings to the airwaves.
⛺ Amateur Radio Camp: Imagine a camp focused entirely on Amateur Radio! Learn advanced techniques, work towards greater achievements like DXing or contesting, and combine it all with traditional Scouting fun.
🛠️ Radio Skills for Scouting Activities: Explore practical ways to use Amateur Radio in your everyday Scouting adventures—enhancing safety, improving communication during activities, and making Scouting even more engaging!
We’d love to hear from you—our passionate operators—about what excites you most. Let us know what you’d like to participate in and any other ideas you have for incorporating Amateur Radio into Scouting in 2025.
