Discounted Radios For Scouts
Radio Scouting Inc. has an alliance with Gigaparts to offer scouts that get their Technician license a free handheld radio.

FREE HT FOR YOUTH:
We’ve offered a free HT to newly licensed scouts since our program, usually the Baefeng UV-5r or UV-82. This year we’re expanding our program to offer it nationally. We’ve teamed up with Gigaparts to offer the QRZ-1 Explorer Radio, expanding the New Ham Program for all scouts in the US.
Scouts should contact us at RadioScoutingUS@RadioScouting.US with their newly issued callsign.
