Re: [BVARC] License Class for Boy Scouts
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.
YIS & 73,

{}#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

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
