Jamie, I am the Scoutmaster of Boy Scout Troop 139 chartered to St. John the Evangelist Roman Catholic Church in Bergenfield, New Jersey, which is about 15 km...
Hi! My name is Tom Hendricks, and I will be teaching a Radio Merit Badge session to Troop 828 here in Timonium, MD on the 21st. It will be an "all night"...
Hi all-- The January - February 2006 Scouting magazine's article on Scouts and Scouters in action for Hurricanes Katrina and Rita relief inspired me to gather...
To, If you would like a sked, then simply call me after 5:00 PM on the 21st and I'll get on the air for your guys! I have a Klondike Derby that day, but I'll...
Hi...I'm looking for a group in the Boston area who I can help (or can help me) with HAM radio activities. I am a pack master and I really need someone else...
Dave -- I am a rather inactive ham, and my interests have shifted to MW and SW DXing, so I'm probably not the one to organize a "really good demonstration"....
Gary, have you ever taken them camping or other Scout trips where there is no cellphone coverage? In western MA with all the hills, there oughtta be lots of...
Yes, there are pockets with no cell coverage, and certainly larger tracts further north. These are great opportunities to demonstrate radiograms, as you say,...
Dave: Try contacting KX1X, John Pise, in the Mt. Holyoke area. He's 1.5 to 2 hrs. west of you but has an active Ham Radio Venture crew in the Northampton...
Hi Folks! I have a two page file which has good information on why you and your boys in your Troop or Webelos Den would want to have some Amateur Radio ...
Could we put this into the file repository in the Yahoo Group??? It might be easier to grab and doctor that way. Bill Stewart, W2BSA ... Could we put this into...
Great Gordon! Please upload the MS-Word version to the files section of Scout Radio on Yahoo Groups so others can download the formatted version and find it...

In this area, we try to do the same thing for JOTA, annually in October. John N7MFQ ... From: "Gary Wilson" <k2gw@...> To: <ScoutRadio@yahoogroups.com> ...
Gary, et al, I can appreciate your enthusiasm for this project, especially with the success you've enjoyed. As another poster mentioned, many organizations...
Dear Gary et al, I agree to a degree with Frank that January may not be the optimal time for a National Radio Merit Badge Day, and that local councils should...
Bill, Thanks for the reminder of the ARRL ad hoc committee on scouting. I'm curious how many of ScoutRadio readers have been contacted for any kind of input....
Gordon: Thanks for the quick response. I have an opportunity to use another station that could accomodate our guys on Monday January 23/1006. Would this work...
Hi Bill, et al, This is a good discussion. I like your concept of events/activities that culminate with JOTA. I would offer an alternative/modification of...
Thanks everyone for the input. Some further thoughts from here. First of all, it looks like we have some kind of Radio Merit Badge program in 4 councils at...
The idea of a National Radio Merit Badge Day is a very good one. I'll vote for it. Now, comes the difficulty of deciding what day to make it. I think the...
The Colonial District of the National Capital Area Council has a Merit Badge Jamboree each February. Radio merit badge has been taught in each Merit Badge...
Dear Frank et al: No, I am not aware of any formal contact between this Yahoo Group (Scout Radio)and the ARRL's Ad Hoc Committee on Scouting. I took the...

Hi Allan, Fantastic. I like the idea of a two day course. It's difficult to keep youth interested over a multi-week course, plus school (and the 'fumes')...
