Can you talk to one or more of the scouts before the event?? The easiest way to connect with your audience is to know your audience and what matters to them.? There are several ideas already in this thread that sound like good ideas to me.? The problem is, I am willing to bet I am one of the younger people reading this and the last time I wore a neckerchief was around the time we were huddled around the TV watching the first space shuttle launch so what I think is interesting doesn't really matter.? What about taking some of these ideas and asking a few of the kids what they think?
