A way that I have found that seems to work better is just to do a
/who #scouting
command. If the #scouting channel doesn't exist there, then nothing will
be replied; otherwise a list of who is on the channel is given. This has
the added advantage that it doesn't require wading through the pages of
channels given by the /list command.
I would also like to publicly thank Norman and the others who have put a
lot of time into getting #scouting to where it is today. You have done a
real service to international scouting.
