From Your Backyard, to the Moon & Beyond
RAVEN brings the magic of amateur radio to Scouts across the Pacific Northwest. We explore the science of radio waves, communicate with operators around the globe, serve our communities in emergencies — and one day, we'll make contact with astronauts on the Moon.
Our Mission Pillars

Communications
Communications
Scouts learn to operate HF, VHF, and UHF radios — talking with operators in dozens of countries on every continent, including Antarctica!
Emergency Response
Emergency Response
When cell towers fail and internet goes dark, HAM radio operators keep communities connected. RAVEN trains Scouts to be ready to serve.
Education
Education
Electronics, physics, geography, Morse code, digital modes — HAM radio is a living classroom that ties directly to STEM merit badges and lifelong skills.
Global Networking
Global Networking
