Julie, the reason I like the idea of taking them into the woodshop is so that they can see what is going on. Otherwise, why doesn’t he just work on the cars himself and leave the scouts somewhere else.
It is the act of doing, or at least the act of observing that makes the visit memorable. Obviously, the use of power tools is out of the question, but just observing shouldn’t be an issue IMHO.
Otherwise, its just a kid sitting exercise and I’m not interested in just doing that.
My expectation is that he parents are going to want to see the place, too.
