My second troop is going to be a library one too so that should be interesting.  Any tips?  Bart

Nice!  I like to stand as "security" for entering patrons.  "Checking for identification"  "Move along". that sort of thing if you have an icomm.  I will not troop without my icomm (its gold!).    Good indoor troop so have fun with it.  

 

[BAZINGA[TK]]

Oh perfect.  Thanks!  I think it is 2 or 3 hours so finding things to do was going to be tough.  We're going to have a rebel there too, Obi-Wan so I'm hoping we can have some interaction with the kids too if we can plan it out a bit before hand.

 

My icomm is on the fritz so just the amp but I will make do.  Hopefully it is repaired and returned to me sooner than later.
