Guys, not enough advance time. I’ll see if I can do some of this since I live down the street. Need to update my YPT.

1,2,3,8 should be prerequisites and can be done at home
7 (visiting radio installation) can be done at POTA
9A can also be done at a POTA
Scouts are supposed to bring their own copy of the worksheet and a copy of the Radio MB book
We have slide packs for covering the material

Jeff,
What are the hours for this event? I'm reading through the requirements (sounds like printed material may also be needed). I'm in the BOD meeting in the morning and the test session till about noon so I'm not sure I can make it. But I'm SURE we have someone. I'll try to make some calls.
Thanks and 73!

BVARC,
The Sam Houston Area Council (of Scouts BSA - formerly known as Boy Scouts of America) has a merit badge event happening this Saturday. They would like to offer the radio merit badge there, and, in fact, have about a dozen scouts signed up to take a 4-hour radio merit badge "class," but they don't have a ham to teach the class.
I'm sending this out hoping that one of us is available on Saturday (Feb 4th - this wknd) and willing to teach the class (which may involve signing up for Scouts BSA on their website and filling out a form and taking some youth protection training online).
I've copied Ralph Phillips here so he can forward this request to OFARC as well, and because he can provide powerpoint slide decks to anyone who volunteers to teach the class...
Thanks for your consideration; if you're able to help, please let me know ASAP, as there's precious little time left to pull this together.
Thanks!
