You can also just turn the phone off and be unavailable wherever, whenever.

Rocdril crew- Just informing you that I noticed that the fire extinguisher in the 550 is spent. I'd hate for someone to run over there for a fire extinguisher only to find it empty.

Hi Jim.
I took our cub scouts to the Fright Night at a BSA camp last night.
They had 300 people signed up to attend and about 1200-1500 showed up.
The place was a ZOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
But the kids still had fun, it was just a long night.

Wow!

There's no way you can be prepared for 4-5X the expected turnout.

That is for sure.
It was supposed to be from 6 to 8 and we left there at 9:30 and people where still coming in.
I felt bad for the people running it.
I finally took a group of about 60 people through by myself to try and help out.
It was such a great night that I think people just came out of the wood work!

As long as you and all your scouts had fun!

I used to help with a haunted house we'd set up at the local museum & nature center.
It grew too big and we were no longer welcome...
