[InHam] Scouts need mentors, ISS, Sept. 13th 1,000's attend

[Brian Walker]

The Illini/Space Jamboree, the largest Central Region Scouting event
needs Mentors to help with the Radio and Electronics merit badges,
Sept. 13 in Rantoul IL at the Chanute Air Museum.  Three Thousand
Scouts and Scouters are coming, most go to a football game but 500 are
staying to earn two of the following merit badges Radio, Electronics,
Space Exploration, and Aviation (all instruction and key events are in
doors!)

We have a live video conference with NASA, and ISS contact, tons of other fun.

Go to www.troop272.com and click on the Jambo Volunteers link on the
top right of the page for all the details.

You are invited to help with the 250 QSO's we need (125 as we will
have two Scouts talking to each other), set up a station in the Ham
Radio Field (we have power).  Crew 272 will have a Sat/Comm station
set up... Classes go from 8 am CST till about noon, start up at 1 and
finish at 4pm.  All 3,000 Scouts and Scouters will be around to see
your station (if you want to set one up) till about 7PM.

All the teaching will be done with Video, we need you to help mentor
the Scouts through the worksheets and projects (solderless
breadboard).

Please email Brian Walker at briankaywalker at gmail.com to say you are
coming to help!  We need an army... Just imagine showing off Ham Radio
to 3,000!

Thanks so very much to all those that are going to come out!
