Welcome to Circle Ten Radio Scouting!
-
Circle Ten Radio Scouting (C10RS) is a fully recognized program committee of Circle Ten made up of Scouters that are licensed amateur radio operators, also known as HAMS, organized to provide amateur radio operations and training as a program resource available to Scouts and Scouters alike. HAM radio is a vital part of emergency preparedness and often in the case of emergencies is the only means of communication. When all else fails radio gets through, across town or around the world! Our goal is to introduce Scouts and Scouters to the exciting world of HAM radio and all that this great hobby offers. We offer radio merit badge classes, HAM radio licensing classes and exams, Jamboree on the Air stations and other HAM radio related programs that Scouts are invited to visit and participate in. We encourage both Scouts and Scouters to get involved in HAM radio and obtain their licenses to operate. Like scouting, ham radio and radio scouting is fun with a purpose!

Local Scouter HAMs are encouraged to setup JOTA stations as well. Visit www.k2bsa.net for all the information you need to participate.
