Activity for the Award should be focused around the Scout frequencies.Please note: Some of the Scout Frequencies are changing on 1st July 2007.
See link above for details.
The award is available on a listener basis, with exactly the same requirements as the operator award. |
| Requirements |
Stations are required to contact Scout and Guide stations to count for points as follows:
Each ordinary Scout station counts one point.
Each Scout station can only be counted once, regardless of band or mode.
Special Event Scout stations count 2 points.
The World Jamboree, Gilwell Park and Brownsea Island stations count 5 points.
Other National Centenary stations also count 5 points. These are stations (usually one in each country) that have been designated as National Centenary stations e.g. BP100S in Taiwan, 8J1S in Japan and EI100S in Ireland. Please email me if you are not sure about a stations validity.
Your logs should be verified as accurate by 2 other local radio amateurs. Normal log information is required with, in addition: Name, Scout callsign and Scout details (Scout Group, Scout position ie Leader or Scout etc) along with the age of the other operator.
Your age should also be submitted when applying for Awards.
Female operators send 'YL' in place of their age!
Points can be claimed regardless of the callsign you are operating from, but only for yourself. In other words... if you are operating a club station with a club callsign, you can claim the points for the Scout station you work, but those around you cannot claim the points, just because they heard the Scout station! |
