THE HISTORY OF SCOUTING RADIO
In
1907, Lord Robert Baden -Powell held the first experimental
camp at Brownsea Island. In 1908 Scouting was established.
Now nearly 100 years later, Scouting has become the
Biggest Brotherhood in the World, with an estimated
36 million Scouts worldwide.
'Scouting
for Boys' written by Baden Powell is the 2nd best
seller in the English language, only outrated by the
Bible. Scouting Radio launched on Founders Day 22nd
February 2005, making us the first Internet radio
station for Scouting.- We are the home for Scouting
News and Information worldwide. All Scouts are united
under 1 Law, 1 Promise, 1 Salute and sign, whether
they be male or female.
The
concept for Scouting Radio was designed by Justin
Dawson of Xtreme Media (pictured right in photo).
Justin
is a lifelong Scout. He is currently Scoutmaster for
Troop 44 Dublin, and has been in this position for
the past 5 years. He has participated in Jamboree
on the Internet on several occasions. During the summer
of 2004, Justin spent 3 weeks in California, where
he visited Boy Scouts of America camps.
He was amazed by the interest that American Scouts
had on oversea's Scouting. Justin's brainwave of how
an Internet Radio station could provide Scouts with
knowledge of Scouting overseas was created. An international
Scouting Radio team was formed - The product was Scouting
Radio!
