[Troop139] Amateur Radio-based programs for NNJC Scouts:Meeting/Forum: -Wed.6/20/12 - TONIGHT

[J.Gordon Beattie, Jr., W2TTT]

Hi Folks!

 

There is going to be a gathering of Amateur
Radio-interested/Scouting-interested folks this Wednesday at 7:30 PM  in
Bergenfield in the St. John's Parish Life Center just south of St. John's at
29 North Washington Ave. 

 

We are advancing the visibility of Amateur Radio in Scouting within the
Northern New Jersey Council which consists of Bergen, Passaic, Essex and
Hudson Counties, but we want to develop a strong cadre of Scouts, Scouters
and other interested parties to expand the reach to more youth and adults by
leveraging each other's ideas and resources.  

 

The first part of the meeting will be informational and the second will be a
brainstorming session.  We have already assembled quite of bit of material
for this meeting, but would like to expand on both the ideas and the roster
to create as comprehensive a program as possible for individual Scout units
and for the Council activities program as well.

 

Please forward this message around to any and all interested folks!

 

Yours in Scouting!

Thanks & 73,

Gordon Beattie, W2TTT
