Amateur Radio Service to Scouting Award

International Spirt Award For youth and adult leaders. The award seeks to broaden knowledge of international Scouting and increase appreciation and awareness of different cultures and countries. The emblem is worn as a temporary patch. One requirement for this award at all levels, including Cub Scout, Boy Scout/Varsity/Venture, as well as Scouter, is to participate in Jamboree on the Air or Jamboree on the Internet. This is a great way to encourage participation in your Jamboree on the Air event.

Arrow of Light One of Cub Scouting's Arrow of Light required adventures is Building a Better World. A key requirement is to connect with a Scout in another country during an event such as Jamboree on the Air or Jamboree on the Internet or by other means. This is a great way to encourage participation in your Jamboree on the Air event. You can find this information in the Cub Scout Requirements Booklet on page 30 at requirement 10d.
