Hi, everyone. I spoke with Larry Wolfgang at the ARRL for ideas regarding this as well, he liked the idea. We think the 9 PM time slot might be a little too...
Nathaniel, I would recommend sessions at 1, 7 and 9 PM because of different camp schedules. Our camps are programmed at 7 every day. YIS & 73, Gordon Beattie,...
Gordon, Nathaniel, et al-- I also agree with the 9 PM net time, but in addition to 7 PM instead of in lieu of it. The Camps with which I am familiar (about a...
Howdy, We shouldn't forget the purpose of the scheduled times - I presumed it was to get scouts on the air - to encourage other scout camps and scouts and ...
There seems to be an overwhelming popularity for the 9 PM slot, so I am putting that back in. Here is the schedule now: Call CQ Scout Camps at: Monday -...
Nathaniel, From my perspective, that looks very good. Two frequencies, three times per day. Only one thing: We have 14.290 +/- 10, but the Maritime Net is "in...
Frank, I like your protocol a lot. I think it combines some of the best ideas. I also like the shorter calling window, especially since we will be doing this...
I don't have much to add other than great ideas all the way around. I hope to have our station on the air at Camp Rock Enon, Gore, Virginia this summer. I plan...
Hello: Just a short announcement that the UHF repeater at Ben Delatour Scout Ranch (near Red Feather Lakes, Colorado) is now operational. W0BSA/R receives on...
Hi Nathaniel, Thank you for your comments. I'll let you take it from here. I think I speak for everyone on the "board" that we are thankful you got this...
Thanks, Frank. I was looking over the protocol again. I think #7 may be a little too broad and confusing. I think we should stick to just listing the 1, 7,...
Nathaniel, The only reason I included #7 was recognizing that the times for operation are local (EDST, CDST, MDST, MST, and PDST). Number 7 includes all those...

Add to this protocol for scouts the following for stations with APRS: 1) If your camp has APRS, then send a message to SCOUTS at the beginning and end of all...
Hi All: I am new to the group. I have been an assistant Scout Master ,Scout Master and Council member with several troops. My first troop was Troop 35 in...
Hi Frank, Thanks for the observation. The calling plan recommends 7270 +/- 10kHz - plus, at 9 p.m., 40m would be checked for 5 mins before the hour and then ...
Hi All I have an activity that I run at summer camp (the week I spend with my troop) that some of you might be interested in setting up at your camps. I...
BOY SCOUT SPECIAL EVENT MAY 19-21 Boy Scout Venture Crew 59 in Kutztown, PA, will offer more than 5,000 Boy Scouts, Cub Scouts and Venture Crew members...
A local scout/ham is headed to Philmont this summer and asked me if he should carry his HT. He has a VX-5 so the weight is minimal. Anyone ever done it?...
Steve, I've never been to Philmont. However, my theory is that any Scout or adult Scouter who is a ham should bring a radio along to just about any and every...

Bob, I snipped the bottom of your message to conserve space, but kept the highlights so others can follow our thread. You're right. We must lobby the camps to...

And I'd like to make progress on a Radio Chit. Just like a Totin Chip for carrying knife, they would have to do the fundamentals of Radio communication (IE,...
Hmmm... I like that idea. A Radio Chit. It would be a rarity, but for those few Cubs with licenses, the license would supersede the Radio Chit, I believe. One...
Yes, take your HT to Philmont! Our crew (1/3 were licensed) was there in 2003 and we were delighted to find a ham "community" made up of staff members ...
Hi Folks, I'm always bring all kinds of radio equipment for the Cub Scout Bear "Radio Elective", Webelos Communicator and Boy Scout Radio MB to Camp and have ...
Bob, The Radio Chit sounds interesting.can you send the requirements to me? Our Troop has two Scouts who are licensed Hams and we are about to have several...
