World Scout Movement Announces Centenary Of Scouting Ham Radio Award

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.
