Apparently-to: burly@noodles.overflow.com
From: Chris Wilkinson <chris@scout.demon.co.uk>
This is from the International Department at BP House, London.  If you
are interested in the offer would you please contact Samanatha White
direct on 0171 584 7030.
Regards
CHRIS
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
We have been invited to send 10 young people of older Venture age 18+ to
a Jamboree in Argentina at the end of Jan 1998.
Location:       Necochea,
                600kms south of Buenos Aires,
                beach surroundings
They are hoping to bring together in the region of 3,000 young people.
You have to provide your own flight and travel, but they will provide
all the equipment and fuel/water for your stay - food not included.
We just need an idea if anyone is actually interested at this short
notice - we've just received the letter!!!!
It is very vague information from their end - no dates, no fee, etc.
etc.

Good to hear from you again. The answer is probably yes. I moved to Kansas
City about 2 month's ago and have not really set up a residence to run the
BBS from yet (for many reasons ) but I will probably have the Starbase set
back up in California by the end of the year. I'll send in the required
updates by then. Thanks for the concern, I've taken on the job of Assistant
Editor for SCOUTER Magazine here in Kansas City, MO which has turned out
well, but has been incredibly time consuming. You may want to post a
message to the masses if you want about what's going on. Thanks. I hope you
and your family is having a wonderful Christmas... my best wishes to you
for the New Year.

assistant: Hi James
Victoria is about as far west as you can go in Canada.  We're on the southern
tip of Vancouver Island.
I was planning to have a year off to settle into the new place etc.  However
the local Scouter was "done" for child abuse and was therefore suspended by
the local HQ.  Guess who's name they picked out of the computer to take over
the worst scout troop in the region?  (No points awarded for guessing
correctly :)) ).
It only took a few weeks to figure out that the problem was not with the
scouts, but with the ex-Scouters leadership style, or total lack of style to
put it correctly.  I've yet to figure out how he got his woodbadge.  The
roop
records were a mess, and it took myself and the local bank manager 3 hours to
sort out the Troop book and bank account.
But were up & running very well now.  Just came back from a cold/wet weekend
camp and I was asked last night a the meeting "When are we going again?" so
something is clicking.
I have some new district & region badges if you so want, let me know.
Have a good & very merry Christmas.

I didn't put half of what this guy was up to on the screen.  It would make

There are a number of third year boys who, in those three years, have had NO
records kept of anything they have done.  I couldn't tell you what they have
done, or where they are in the program.  I only have their badge sashes to go
by.
The financial books were "kept" along the same lines. :(
Like I said before things are going really well now and my desire to pack it
in has thankfully disappeard.  You just never know, I may just make it into a
scout troop yet!
Hope you had a good Christmas.
