[K3CAL] Radio Merit badge for some young lady Scouts (Scouts BSA)

[James Tetlow]

Good morning Ed, 
After reading your email, I remembered that Les Silva, kh6cuj had done lots of work with the Scouts. Thought he may be interested and forwarded your email to him, he replied that had not done any scout work lately but was interested.
I said I would contact you on this. Les’ email address is kh6cuj at comcast.net. 
Not sure if I will be available on “M-day” weekend, but if I get free I will contact you.
Good wishes for your venue, would be great to get some youngsters interested in amateur radio. 73.

Sent from my iPad,
Best Regards, 
Jim Tetlow
