Good point Ed :-) Anyway, our outpost has run many a lock-in, all centered around merit work (especially under the new program). The most popular with our boys is the BB Gun Weekend where we go through Firearm Safety, Marksmanship and the Blue BB Gun Merits on a Friday night and Saturday. Another popular option is a First Aid Weekend. This is especially helpful if you have a certified instructor who can teach the Gold First Aid-CPR merit on Saturday. That way you can offer the Red Frist Aid Skills merit on Friday night. Compass and Orienteering merits work well together. Rope Craft and Lashing merits work well together in that time frame. Tool Craft can take a whole weekend if done correctly.
As you can see the possibilities are endless.
