While some scouts may be adept at self-study, others may do better in a small group setting and taking notes on worksheets.  Make an agenda. You can facilitate discussion by asking them why each of the principles introduced here would be relevant. Schedule one or more patrol meetings to work this merit badge.


==E. Field Trip ==
Discuss with your MBC the following :  
Meaningful Field Trips will add much to the adventure here.  Consider including one or more of the following:
* '''[https://boyscouttrail.com/boy-scouts/meritbadges/radio-merit-badge.asp Req #1: Explain What Radio Is]'''
# '''Merit Badge Campout''': Field Trip overnight experience can get you a lot closer to the action and to see things in a different way.
* '''Req #2: Explain How Radio Works'''
# '''Facility Tour''':   A day trip to a musuem, gallery, or factory of a related nature.
* '''Req #3: Diagram of Radio'''
# '''Get Dirty Day''': Setup a work station in your garage, backyard, park or other location for a truely "hands-on" experience.
* '''Req #4: How Does Radio Carry Information'''
# '''Service Project''':  There many organizations connected with this merit badge that could use your assistance.
* '''Reg #5: Block Diagrams of a Radio'''


* Contact the destination venue. Confirm that they can assist with the Field Trip Requirements. Reserve your Event Dates.  Get Scoutmaster Assistance as necessary.
Resources:
* Patrol Historian should be ready to take pictures on this activity to report back on the next troop blog, newsletter or court of honor.

==F. Final Meeting ==
=E. Field Trip =
[[Image:PatrolMeet.jpg|thumb|right|Meeting with the [[Merit Badge Counselor]].]]
[[Image:HamRadio1.jpg|thumb|right]]
You will probably need to schedule one patrol night for a follow up meeting with your [[Merit Badge Counselor]].   He/She will use this opportunity to meet with scouts either individually are as a group to review your activities, study worksheets, knowledge and accomplishments before signing off your Merit Badge Blue Card.
A related field trip with the MBC will be a great time to do the second half of this merit badge activity:
 
* '''[https://boyscouttrail.com/boy-scouts/meritbadges/radio-merit-badge.asp Reg #6: Safety Requirements]'''
* '''Req #7: Visit a Radio Installation'''
* '''Reg #8: Careers in Radio'''
* '''Reg #9: Radio Broadcasting Activity'''
 
== Ham Radio Station ==
 
There are Ham Radio Operators in every community that would love to demonstrate their equipment and skill.  Ask your MBC for help to find one near you.
 
== Ham Radio Campout ==
A few years ago, one of the "Roadkill Patrol" scout leaders brought his Ham Radio on a campout where there was electrical supply.  He then hung his radio antenna high up in the trees where he got pretty good reception.  His radio operation there was a success.
 
== Scout Camp Radio Station ==
This merit badge works well for those scout summer camps that operate their own weak frequency radio stations.
 
== Broadcast Station Tour ==
Some commercial radio stations have a visitors gallery for guests.
 
== Virtual Field Trip ==
Many MBC for this subject have an amateur radio station at home with which they can do a virtual tour with your patrol.  Even better if their radio has a computer interface / share screen feature.
 
* '''[https://boyscouttrail.com/boy-scouts/meritbadges/radio-merit-badge.asp Reg #6: Safety Requirements]'''
* '''Req #7: Visit a Radio Installation'''
* '''Reg #8: Careers in Radio'''
* '''Reg #9: Radio Broadcasting Activity'''
 
= F. Extra Credit =
While none of these are actual requirements for this merit badge - they are terrific opportunities to show [[Scout Spirit]], [[Do A Good Turn Daily]] and to have FUN!

* '''[https://www.scouting.org/jota/ JOTA Official Scout Website]'''
* '''[https://k2bsa.net/jota/ K2BSA Official Website]'''
JOTA gives you the chance to experience the joys of amateur radio by conversing with other Scouts in your community, across the country, and, just maybe, around the world.  Scouts of any age can participate, from Cub Scouts to Boy Scouts and Venturers.  Contact your local Scout council and see what may already be planned in your area.
 
[[Jamboree on the Air]], known by its acronym '''JOTA''', is an international Scouting and Guiding activity held annually; it is on the third full weekend in October. First held in conjunction with the fiftieth anniversary of Scouting in 1957, it was devised by Leslie R. Mitchell, a radio amateur with the callsign G3BHK. It is now considered the largest event scheduled by the World Organization of the Scout Movement annually.
 
Amateur radio operators from all over the world participate with over 500,000 Scouts and Guides[4] to teach them about radio and to assist them to contact their fellow Scouts and Guides by means of amateur radio and since 2004, by the VOIP-based Echolink.[3] This provides the Scouts and Guides with a means of learning about fellow Scouts and Guides from around the world. Scouts and Guides are also encouraged to send paper or electronic confirmations known as "QSL cards", or "eQSLs[5]" when they are sent electronically. In recent years, a parallel Jamboree on the Internet (JOTI) has developed. It is an adjunct to the World Scout Jamboree.
 
The event is recognized as one of international participation by the various Scout and Guide organisations, and supports several awards which are a part of Scouting and Guiding programmes. The Boy Scouts of America recognizes this as an international Scouting event for Citizenship in the World Merit Badge.
 
== Related Merit Badges ==
Sometimes it is easier by doing two or more merit badges together as a joint activity:
* [[Camping Merit Badge Activity Planner|Camping]] - Did you know...scouts usually complete these two requirements together - multiple weekends cooking, camping and having fun.
* [[Family Life Merit Badge Activity Planner|Family Life]] - A lot of cooking skills is learned in the home.
