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).
Take a online interactive medium like the internet, make a radio and tv station available and you get Scouting Radio and ISTV - an Award winning station.
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!
