Q: What is Kids Radio – Scout Edition?
Kids Radio – Scout Edition is a free, kid-friendly website that shares live radio streams and simple guides to help kids, families, and youth groups learn about weather radios, alerts, and outdoor listening. It is an informal learning tool, not an official emergency or government service.
Q: Who made this site?
This project is run by radio and outdoor enthusiasts who enjoy sharing what they learn. We are not meteorologists or certified radio instructors, and we are not connected to any government agency.
We rely on trusted public information from organizations like NOAA and the National Weather Service and then explain it in kid-friendly language.
Q: Is this site free?
Yes! Kids Radio – Scout Edition is completely free to use. There are no products to buy, no subscriptions, and no donation requests. It is simply a small educational hobby project designed to help others learn.
Q: Can I use this for Scouts or youth groups?
Yes! Scout leaders, homeschool families, and youth-group organizers are welcome to use the streams and guides as part of meetings, badge work, or safety discussions.
Always check your group's official requirements and approved resources if you are working on specific badges or awards.
Q: Is Kids Radio – Scout Edition an official source for warnings?
No. The streams and information here are for learning only and may be delayed.
For real-time warnings and emergency information, always depend on:
- Your own NOAA Weather Radio
- Official apps
- Local news
- Guidance from your local authorities and the National Weather Service
Q: Where do you get your information?
Most safety and weather information on this site comes from public education materials created by:
- NOAA (National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration)
- The National Weather Service
- Other recognized science and weather-education groups
These organizations offer lesson plans, kids' activities, and safety tips that are widely used by teachers and families.
Q: Are the radio streams always live and accurate?
Streams depend on equipment, internet connections, and other factors, so there can be delays or interruptions.
Because of this, they should be treated as a learning tool, not a guaranteed, real-time warning system.
