The Scouts BSA youth protection training can be taken online on demand and can 
be knocked out in an evening. I'm a Cubmaster for my son's pack, and have taken 
it recently.

Subject: Re: [BVARC] Radio Merit Badge - Need help for Saturday!

I doubt anyone will be able to take the required class in time, I took one for 
girl scouts many years back ( my scout is almost 33 YO). and they only gave it 
twice a year.

If they will waive that requirement, I can tell you what is in the class, NEVER 
BE ALONE WITH LESS THAN 3 SCOUTS! and or another adult.   they spent all day on 
a saturday to teach that.

anyway,  I do not know enough to teach, unless they want to know how to build 
an antenna from junk in your garage.

BVARC,

The Sam Houston Area Council (of Scouts BSA - formerly known as Boy Scouts of 
America) has a merit badge event happening this Saturday.  They would like to 
offer the radio merit badge there, and, in fact, have about a dozen scouts 
signed up to take a 4-hour radio merit badge "class," but they don't have a ham 
to teach the class.

I'm sending this out hoping that one of us is available on Saturday (Feb 4th - 
this wknd) and willing to teach the class (which may involve signing up for 
Scouts BSA on their website and filling out a form and taking some youth 
protection training online).

I've copied Ralph Phillips here so he can forward this request to OFARC as 
well, and because he can provide powerpoint slide decks to anyone who 
volunteers to teach the class...

Thanks for your consideration; if you're able to help, please let me know ASAP, 
as there's precious little time left to pull this together.

Thanks!
