New Scout, Cadet and Girlguiding Youth Champion

The RSGB is delighted to announce that Samuel McCutchion, M7UEL, will be the RSGB’s Scout, Cadet and Girlguiding Youth Champion.

Sam brings a wealth of hands-on experience to the role having been part of the Scouts from a young age in Beavers and then working his way up to Network. He then progressed to become an Assistant Section Leader.

This knowledge will help the RSGB Youth Team to engage and offer amateur radio support to not only the Scouts, but also the Cadets and Girlguiding.

If you’d like to congratulate Sam on his role, or if you have any ideas you think would be useful to share, email him via youthchampion.scouts@rsgb.org.uk
