The International Boy Scouts, Troop 1, Amateur Radio Station JQ1YRX, sponsored and aired the special call 8J1IBS from October 19, 2007 until December 31, 2008. This was to commemorate the Troop's 90th Anniversary and the 100th Anniversary of World Scouting.

Troop 1,I.B.S. was formed in 1918 and, as the members of the Troop came primarily from the local international school, those wising to join came from many parts of the world. Under rules then in effect Troops could only official consist of single nationalities. The dilemma was addressed to B-P and, after formation of the World Scout Bureau, the Troop was chartered directly by the Bureau creating the world's first "International" scout group. The Charter, signed personally by B-P, reads:

This is to certify that... "is duly registered with the Boy Scout International Bureau、London, and is authorised to accept and enroll scouts of mixed nationalities."

For the International Committee signed Robert Baden Powell

Over the years Scouts of over 50 nationalities have experienced scouting as members of the International Boy Scouts, Troop 1.
