[TheForge] Boy Scout Demo

[Reynolds]

Mike:

If you can get through all of that list with them asking a question about every 90 seconds, you are awesome. I demo a bunch (19 days so far this year) and I encourage questions, but I also know they do slow your productivity down. 

You might consider crafting your message specifically around their metal working merit badge. You can get those requirements online.

Thanks for caring about those kids. Have fun!
Reynolds
