Young scout to turn in radio (3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

cub

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'young scout' is the definition.
(I've seen this in other clues)

'turn in radio' is the wordplay.
'turn' becomes 'U' (a 'U-turn' is a kind of turn).
'in' indicates putting letters inside.
'radio' becomes 'cb' (I can't justify this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'u' inserted inside 'cb' is 'CUB'.

'to' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for cub that I've seen before include "Young of certain animals" , "Junior scout; puppy" , "Young newspaper reporter" , "Baby animal, bear say" , "cheeky youngster" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
