Tonight was our first ever troop hobby show. The PLC had taken the idea from the "Hobbies" program features. The event went swimmingly!
Fifteen Scouts each displayed their own personal hobby. I saw instruments, stamp and coin collections, pets, games, and sports memorabilia. It was very enlightening to see the boys' interests out for display. We gave each boy half of a 6-foot table to use and required that each Scout submit their hobby for approval early (just to avoid any embarrassing moments).
To make things more interesting, three secret judges were roaming around the audience. They scored Scouts' presentations on how unique, informative, and entertaining it was. The committee sponsored the event with three $30 gift certificates to Gander Mountain for Scouts selected in each of those categories. That really lit a fire for the Scouts!

excellent idea...you mind if I pass this one on?
Have a party. If you run a similar event, I'd love to hear any improvements.
