Our Show: 1st & 3rd Houghton Regis (Bedfordshire)

Bedfordshire, Counties, Our Show
Scout Radio joined 1st and 3rd Houghton Regis Scouts to talk to them about radio and help them produce their own radio show. Some were excited and couldn't wait to get in front of a microphone and others were nervous, but by the end of the session we had a group of budding radio stars. Some decided to interview the leaders to find out more about the scouting programme whilst others carried out a Scout survey to share with listeners the most popular scouting activities. One group decided to share their happiest and funniest memories from their time in Scouting and we even had two sporty Scouts providing commentary on the game of Dodgeball that concluded the evening. We had a great time with 1st and 3rd Houghton Regis, you can listen to the final result below.   [soundcloud url="http...

Circus Marra 2014

Counties, Events, Marra, National Events, Northumberland
"We have tried a radio service at Marra before, but nothing as strong and interactive as Marra Radio that the Scout Radio team came in to run. They are a very friendly, professional and approachable group of dedicated people who fitted right into our operation. From the first email booking them to the weekend its self it was a very smooth hassle free service, which is ideal when organising events of this scale. For many of the young people it would have been their very first chance to take to the airwaves and we received some very positive comments from all who took part, including those who listened on site and at home. Would 100% recommend them for any large scout event and I look forward to working with them in the near future." Stu Bennett Media & Communications Manager Circus Marr...
