Biography

I am a Scout Leader in the South Wales valleys, and I like to collect Scout Group Neckerchiefs and badges, which I use to teach the children about Scouting around the world. If you are a Member of the Scout Movement or can help me to build up my collection PLEASE drop me a E-mail any Badges & Neckerchiefs are welcome.

I am also a Member of the Radio Scouting and use my skills and equipment to introduce members of the Scout and Guide movement into Amateur Radio, also as a member of the RSGB I run a Foundation course for the Scout Movement to allow the children the oppertunity to gain the Foundation Licence.

Also as a Leader i run a Club Station for the Scout Members together with the YL {MW-3-WPH } the Club call is{ MC-0-EVS }{ Ebbw Vale Scouts } if you hear us give us a call, any of the children and Leaders are always happy to speak to any operators.

As a Radio Scouter i am involved in a number of Scouting and Girl Guides events where we set up the station to allow the Scouts and Guides to pass on their greeting messages please answer our calls as helping the children to pass on the Greeting message helps them gain a number of badges to wear on their uniforms.

Listen out for any of the callsigns below and give us a call, one or two of these callsigns are in use each year, depending what events are running within the Scout movement / Girl Guide
