[nrv-hams] Possibility of setting up at Scout Camps

[Ben Williams]

This is the first time ever that North America has hosted the World 
Jamboree.

they will be having an extensive ham radio setup

I am working out the logistics now with the local District Executive and 
the Reservation Program Director.

if we can get in to both Camps that would be great. I am planning on my 
system at one.

I propose this as a club outreach event.

Objectives:

Proposed Dates July 22-26 (as many as possible or only one day TBD)

primary: 1) Scouts make contact with scouts at the world Jamboree 2) 
scouts make contact any way we can do it (hf,vhf/uhf repeaters, dmr)

secondary: if we have stations at both camps if nothing else scouts from 
each camp and make contacts

equipment:

hf gear and antenna, suggest batteries (and there may be a possibility 
of electric power)

computers for digitial communications

vhf/uhf gear

dmr if you have it

ALL going to the Camps must have a current Youth Protection Training  
Certificate.

(takes about an hour for this training )

you do not have to be registered with the Scouts to take the training


If you are interested in this event please let me know
