In this paper half-line Schrödinger operators with point \(\delta\)- and \(\delta'\)-interactions on a sparse set are considered. Assuming that strengths of point interactions tend to \(\infty\) we give simple sufficient conditions for such Schrödinger operators to have non-empty singular continuous spectrum and to have purely singular continuous spectrum, which coincides with \(\mathbb{R}_+\).
