>> Hello! 
>> What if there were a way that you could help to bring Amateur Radio to thousands of Scouts in one day? You’d be interested, wouldn’t you?
>>  
>> ConnJam 2015 is a great opportunity to present Amateur Radio to all levels of Boy Scouts (Cubs to Ventures), Adult Scout Leaders, and Parents. In most cases this will be their very first exposure to Ham Radio.  This event expects to draw between 2,000 and 3,000 campers and visitors over the weekend.
