Radio Scouting Custom Items

130-032-Radio-Scouting-160The National Radio Scouting Committee has made arrangements with The Sign Man, Rick, NV5A, to provide custom merchandise with the Radio Scouting emblem. Please email Rick at rick@thesignman.com with your questions and what you’d like to have custom-made for your troop, event, whatever. After he’s gained some insight into the common requests, he’ll build a special page showing examples. For now, just email him with your requests. We hope this helps with some of the requests we’ve received over the past year for Radio Scouting custom items.
