[OFARC] Scouts Fair and Field Day

[Ralph]

Somehow I have wound up as a point of contact between Scouting and 
Houston Area Amateur Radio.
I am probably not the best person to do this, but I am it for 2017.
So far I have received 4 requests from the Houston Area Scout Council

1.    To have an EmCom van at Scout Fair May 6 ....Ft Bend county has 
graciously agreed to loan their van and will provide ARES members to 
staff it.
2.    Set up an amateur radio demonstration table at Scout Fair ..... so 
far 3 operators have agreed to staff the booth
3.    Provide contacts for clubs or individuals to play host for scouts 
at Field Day 2017 - so far 3 clubs have agreed
4.    Find Hosts for JOTA 2017 in October

_If you would be willing to help at the scout fair table, please let me 
know._
(Help is defined as bring a radio and talk with scouts for an hour or 
two.  PORTABLE POWER & ANTENNAS; I am trying to get a generator for the 
radio booth)
The fair is at Minute Maid park on May 6 from 10-3

I know that not every club is set up to host visitors at field day.
But some are, and some individuals may be willing to set up a station 
for just the scouts.
I have already told council that the number of scouts that can be 
accommodated will be limited at each location.

_If you are willing to do Field Day or JOTA for a scout group, please 
let me know._
