We have a volunteer, so this weekend is covered. Thanks! For anybody interested, there are also opportunities to lead this class in April and October. If things go according to plan, there may be other opportunities as well in the near future. ________________________________ From: BVARC <bvarc-boun...@bvarc.org> on behalf of Scott Medbury via BVARC <bvarc@bvarc.org> Sent: Thursday, February 2, 2023 8:30 PM To: BRAZOS VALLEY AMATEUR RADIO CLUB <bvarc@bvarc.org> Cc: Scott Medbury <kd5...@gmail.com> 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. marc.

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!
