Macclesfield and Congleton Scout Communications Team

Macclesfield and Congleton Scout Communications Team We primarily support Scouting activities with radio communications and PA equipment and services. We can support other community groups too.
(1)

The primary purpose of the Macclesfield and Congleton Scout Active Support Communications Team is to:
• Give Scouting in the District access to well maintained, high grade, two way radio equipment and public address equipment when it is requested for events.
• To support leaders in the District who are organising events with an appropriate level of radio communications advice and to assist in the

communications aspects of the event planning and organisation when requested to do so.
• To run radio communications services at Scouting events when that service is requested.
• To assist Cub and Scout groups doing their Communicator badge work.
• To give the opportunity for Explorer Scouts and members of the Scout Network in the District to develop their communications, teamwork, organisation and leadership skills through working with the Communications Team. We also:
• Support Groups running wide games where radios are advantageous.
• To support other Scout Communications Teams and the wider Scout movement as the need and opportunity arises.
• To support other community organisations and events as the need and opportunity arises.
• To develop communications services in areas outside the arena of 2 way radios and public address when the need arises within the District (e.g. wireless internet access hotspots etc.).

PAT test time again... no issues found due to damage in use again this year.
Many thanks to all who have used the equipment at the 49 events we have supported since the last test for looking after the equipment so well.
We look forward to supporting your events again next year.
All the best for Christmas and the new year

Some of the Scout Radio Comms Team providing safety radio cover at the weekend. It was a very well organised event with 5,000 people taking part without any accidents or injuries, but all the support was available at the press of a transmit switch had it been needed.
Looking forward to helping at the next one.

It was great to be able to support the Macclesfield Beating the Bounds Hike by providing radio equipment to allow the volunteer marshals around both the 13km and 35km routes to keep in touch with each other, first aid support and hike HQ.
They were a great team to work with and the 7 comms team members who took part solved every problem thrown at them that day with a positive attitude that was a credit to the Scouting movement
