This meeting is designed so that the troop can complete it in a meeting without traveling anywhere. But troops that have an option to conduct it in the community can. Suggestions:
​
Do the meeting outside the school since one task is drawing the school and labeling.
Plan a community project like picking up trash to demonstrate being a good neighbor.
