A mild winter day in NE FL brought brought Boy Scouts and other youth to Hershel King Park to learn about Amateur Radio. The ARRL Children’s Day event was hosted by Flagler ARES and FPCARC and the turn out was great.

Children of all ages were able to get on the air using various modes and make contacts all over the world. The goal of the event was to foster interest in amateur radio and help the scouts complete merit badge requirements.

Both organizations are active in educating youth and hope to participate in more events like this throughout the year. The goal is to educate children and hopefully gain some new licensees.

To learn more about both organizations Please contact Flagler ARES at info@flaglerares.net and Flagler Palm Coast Amateur Radio Club at fpcarc@gmail.com

Set Up.
