As a former Scout and indeed a Scout and Group Leader, I'm proud to say that
we are delighted to support Martin in this project and indeed do so
regularly with the provision of RSL broadcasting facilities for Jamborees
and other Scout events.

PRESS RELEASE

 

Scouts in the UK can now be rewarded for radio and audio production, as a
slew of new badges have been revealed.

 

Scout Radio, a national active support group supporting young people in the
movement to try radio, encouraged the Scout Association to include radio in
the new 'media relations and marketing' activity badge, which can be
completed by Scouts aged 10-14.

 

Martin Steers, active support manager for Scout Radio, said: "It's fantastic
that modern Scouting encourages and supports young people to get involved
and discover the world of media.

 

"We're thrilled that taking part in broadcast radio can help achieve this
new badge."

 

The badge requirements include the option to "Prepare and present an audio
or video package about a Scouting event or activity. The report should be
accurate, informative and reflect the adventure of Scouting."

 

The badge also encourages groups to visit and engage with local media
outlets, such as radio stations and newspapers.

 

Released today, the new requirements will be phased in over the next few
months, with groups expected to use the badges by September.

 

Scout Radio is currently developing a resource pack to support groups with
no experience to record and edit their own audio packages, using basic audio
equipment and smartphones. 

 

In addition, Scout Radio members will also visit groups wishing to develop
their radio skills further, and help them produce their own show.

 

An advanced version of the same badge is available for Explorers (aged
14-18), while elements of radio and audio are included in the Communicator
badge for Cubs (aged 8-10).

NOTES FOR EDITORS

The Scout Radio team are a collection of Scouting volunteers based around
the country who are experienced in broadcast radio. 

 

Formed in 2009, the group operate short-term radio stations (RSLs) at
international Scout and Guide Jamboree events, as well as giving young
people the opportunity to present their own mini-shows, both at these large
and other smaller events. 

 

Members of the team also support groups around the country to produce their
own shows as part of their programme, either online or through
collaborations with local community radio stations.
