[QUOTE="Seattlite86, post: 8210648, member: 59737"]Hey Folks, I’ll take any advice on my first Boy Scouts of America presentation. If you’ve done this in the past, seen one, or have an opinion, please send me your advice/lessons learned! From time to time, I take all my excess world coins and I donate them to a Boy Scout Troop. Recently, I came across a post for a local BSA group and I volunteered to help the Scouts earn their coin collecting merit badge. I’ll be presenting early March and want to come prepared. My passion lies in World Coins, though I dabble in US and variety/error coins. I know that most folks in the US prefer US coins. I want to share my passion, while also connecting with the Scouts in a way they might spark their interest. I plan to give them enough world coins to meet the requirements for the merit badge. I’m going to start pulling aside coins and unique stories to possibly share with the group. I think I need to keep the presentation to maybe 15 minutes? And then activities for the rest of the hour. I was thinking of a US table, grading table, a world coin table, an error table, a token table, and one with books. I don’t have a lot of lockable glass containers, so theft will be a concern. Any thoughts are welcome! [ATTACH=full]1440394[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]
