Eric and the group,
I am the COR for Troop / Pack 1199 in Sugar Land. I previously registered as a
MB Counselor for Radio and other areas. Not getting any scout inquiries, I
decided not to renew but will assist here where able. My YPT is current.

I'm a Cub Master and involved in my son's Troop. I am help spread the word
about the class whenever you decide on times, etc. I know some Scouts in
Thunder Wolf district would be interested in joining.

{}#yiv3466737087 Actually, I receive the instructor discount for the License
manuals. With the discount, it comes out to about $22.50 and the ARRL pays the
shipping to the registered instructors. I’m meeting with the officers at the
Elks Lodge tonight to find out if we have any grant money left over from one of
the other programs that can cover the cost of the manuals for the Scouts. I
don’t foresee any problem getting money from the grant, but it depends if we
have any money left from out other programs (they usually over-budget the other
programs so there should be money left over). I’ll let you know more after
our meeting tonight. Philip HudsonWD5DAY From: mark janzer

Subject: Re: [BVARC] License Class for Boy Scouts I'll defer to Rick as to the
class length. Eric, what are your thoughts on adding an hour or two to the
Tuesday meeting, for several weeks, for a radio session? Would that be too much
time for the kids on a school night? As to cost for license study, there is
the ARRL book at $29, the instructor discount gets the price down to $25.
Amazon has the book for $23 (plus shipping). Another alternative, which may
be more adaptable to the scouts schedule, is have them do a combined course of
live sessions and online tutoring. This might be better for achieving both the
merit badge and a license. Check out "Ham It Forward" HamItForward - A better
way to Elmer people into ham radio!

A book for each student may not then be needed, and the cost is $20
(minimum 5). Thoughts? 73MarkK5MGJ From: "[email protected]"

Subject: Re: [BVARC] License Class for Boy Scouts Rick Hiller, Mark Janzer,
and Philip Hudson,Thank you for responding to my email about offering a
licensing class and merit badge class to our scouts. I was not sure if anyone
would respond and I ended up with three people wanting to help.I have a feeling
that the three of you may know each other so I figured I would respond back to
all of you at the same time. Your emails to me complemented each other. Rick
has some past experience teaching the Radio Merit badge, Philip is a registered
instructor with the ARRL, and Mark has been waiting for the opportunity to help
teach scouts about radio. If the three of you are able to work together to
offer both a licensing class, and a merit badge class that would be great. (If
you prefer to work alone, that works too just let me know).Here are some more
details and questions:Our trip to Guadalupe peak is in June of 2017. We are
flexible on dates and timing for a ham radio class depending on your
availability and preferences. My only request is that the classes not be on
Friday nights or Saturdays.How many hours of instruction do you think we need?
Would you prefer one long Sunday, or several short weekday evenings.Our Troop
usually meets on Tuesday nights at 7pm at Congregation Beth Israel. Most of our
scouts live in the Meyerland and Bellaire area, but we can travel for a class
anywhere in the greater Houston area.I do not know how many scouts in our troop
are interested yet. I would estimate that we would have less than 10 scouts.
If there is a minimum number you would like to have to make the class worth
your time, please let me know. We could extend an invitation to other troops in
our area to increase the class size.Do you have an estimated cost for any
expenses that our scouts may need to procure? Philip mentioned a discount on
one of the ARRL books.Similar to other large organizations there may be some
paperwork you will need to fill out as a counselor. The BSA requires Merit
Badge Counselors to be registered and take the BSA Youth Protection Training
(YPT) Online. Registration has to be done every year however YPT is good for
two years. I will help with BSA registration as needed.Thank you again for
your support.Eric LiebAssistant ScoutmasterTroop

Lieb; [email protected]: Re: [BVARC] License Class for Boy Scouts |
Eric, GM. What time period/frame are you thinking about? Once a week
at meetings or maybe on a few Saturdays, etc.? How many boys? Location? I
was a SHAC merit badge councelor for Radio a few years ago, but I have not been
a registered Scouter for quite a few years. Used to do the merit badge fairs.
Just gathering information to see if I can help you out. Thanks and 73...Rick

Howdy, My name is Eric Lieb, I am an Assistant Scoutmaster with Troop 806 in
the Myerland area. Our scouts are planning a trip next year to Guadalupe Peak
(Tallest peak in Texas), Carlsbad Caverns, and El Paso. We will be out of
cell phone range for most of the trip. This is a perfect opportunity to
encourage our scouts to earn and use a ham radio license. I am looking for
someone in the ham community that might be willing to teach a licensing course
to our scouts. If the scouts can also complete the Radio Merit Badge that would
be a huge plus. Please let me know if you are interested or able to help. You
can respond directly to me at my call sign email ([email protected]) or through
my other email in the signature line. Thank you for your support. Eric
