Test Session #2 of 2

This test session is open to those attending the National Scout Jamboree and is not open to the public. The exam time is after the visitor hours. The VE session will be held in the Radio MB tent which is located behind the K2BSA demonstration station. The station is near the base of the zip line going over the Trading Post.

Despite what you may see during the registration process, candidates younger than 18-years old pay a reduced exam fee of $5 VE team at the time of the exam. The $5 fee is for all candidates under the age of 18 regardless of the exam level taken. Proof of under 18 status is required at the session.

here’s the link to a wonderful youth program from the ARRL: https://www.arrl.org/youth-licensing-grant-program

This ARRL Youth Licensing Grant Program covers the one-time $35 FCC application fee for new license candidates younger than 18-years old for tests administered under the ARRL Volunteer Examiner Coordinator (ARRL VEC) program.

The $35 FCC application fee will be reimbursed after the ARRL VEC receives the completed reimbursement form and the new license has been issued by the FCC. The reimbursement check will be mailed to the fee payer.

Additionally, candidates younger than 18-years old would pay a reduced exam session fee of $5 to the VE team at the time of the exam (normally our exam fee is $15).

Even though youth candidates initially pay $40 to get the Technician license, after the license is issued and the reimbursement form is turned in to us, a $35 check will be mailed to each payer so in the end they will only have paid $5 for the new Tech license!
