Hi Danny,
along with amateur radio, you might consider talking about growing up and
going to school, using braille to do everyday tasks as well as reading
textbooks, magazines, etc. If you can get their names ahead of time, you can
get a package of 3 x 5 cards and braille each scout's name on the top line
and the alphabet on the lines below, skipping a line after their name.

Show them how the perkins works, take a few sheets of paper and pound out an
alphabet
. Also, take your laptop and show them how you do your current job. How your
screen reader works, how you do emails. all interesting stuff and sufficient
to fill 30 minutes or so.

73 and 99
