The Zone 1 Backbone only carries echoes listed in the Zone 1/2 EchoList. It seems that the listing for this echo has expired. Thus, it will be necessary for someone to assume the moderatorship and list it if it is to remain on the Zone 1 Backbone. There is a three month grace period to accomplish this. For more information please consult these files: BOFAQxxx.TXT and ELISTxxx.ZIP, where "xxx" is the version number. They are available from most hubs or can be requested from 1:1/200, 1:1/201, 1:283/120 or 1:396/1. If you need assistance, please contact Marge Robbins, 1:283/120.

We don't need these guys to tell us to expand Scouting and develop new groups. What we need is a world class program that will attract youth on it's own merit! When that happens the field exec's will be looking for a new line of work. Mmmm...maybe thats why we don't have such a program!

A Scouter is someone who does it because he loves it, and no other reason. If you are paid then you are an executive...Council, Field, or otherwise, but you ain't no Scouter!
