Note
Jen P set up a table at the scout rendezvous at Willow Metropark. She said "on the order of 10,000", which I struggled to believe until I arrived. I sat at the table for 2.5 hours and chatted with a few, hopefully we see some out. Common comments were: more east side please.
Had I had any idea how sweet the event was (there was a ninja warrior obstacle course, giant water slides, some sort of foam maze, and dozens and dozens of other activities), I think I would have tried to do more. Next one is three years off, so we have some time. I think at bare minimum offering the standard stakes+tape SI maze would be a good start and make it more engaging for the kids.
That and maybe whistles as swag, since they are handy and can be printed.
Best case would be a short o course. Willow would have worked great for it, as long as you had a decent idea where to set up and what terrain / space was in use or not in use.
There's a big scout leader meeting in early 2020; we should try to get coverage there. Jen said she would relay more info, hopefully it does not stack up with a tournament.
