Attention all Scouts on the Jambo97 List:
"J97Scouts", A new e-mail list, has been formed specifically for Scouts
attending the 1997 National Scout Jamboree. This list will cover topics
that are more relevant to youth attending the Jamboree than the topics
on Jambo97. Youth are always and still welcome on Jambo97, though.
The list will share the support page with the Jambo97 list:
http://polarconsult.com/jambo97
The procedure for subscribing to this list is:
Send an email to:
J97Scouts@dynapolis.com
In the SUBJECT line type:
subscribe (or subscribe digest)
I am the youth "leader" of this list, so if you have any questions,
please contact me at
gana@owt.com.
I look forward to good discussion on a variety of topics on the new
list.

Dear Scouts and Scouters -
If you are a Jamboree-bound Scout or have some in your troop, you should
know about the email list devoted to Jamboree Scouts - J97Scouts.
J97Scouts is a companion list to Jambo97. Jambo97 was first started to
provide a way for adult leaders and staff members going to the Jamboree to
connect, trade tips and ideas, and to prepare for this great event.(Jambo97
is just a few members shy of 1,000.) We have a number of Scouts on Jambo97
and they have contributed significantly to the discussion. Still, about a
month ago we started J97Scouts as a forum devoted to Jamboree Scouts -
thinking that their topics and style warrant their own meeting place.
J97Scouts is run loosely like a Scouting organization. We have a
leadership Council of Scouts from Jambo97 who volunteered to provide
direction in getting J97Scouts going. We have a Scout who serves as the
list leader - Josh Gana. I serve as the adult advisor to the list and also
host the list on my server.
We keep the two Jamboree lists in sync - mostly by cross posting from one
list to the other when something important comes in. And, though J97Scouts
is not fully moderated (messages get posted without going through someone)
I watch it pretty carefully.
To join J97Scouts, send an email to:
