The current president of the Guild of Metalsmiths, Rich Herman has made local (eastern Minnesota) Boy Scouts quite aware of blacksmithing. Last year (or the year before) he was one of a group that set up a blacksmithing station at the national Boy Scout gathering somewhere out east. He said that the lines of boys waiting to get a chance at blacksmithing were longer than the lines for anything else.
I think every ABANA affiliate would do well to reach out the area Boy Scout organizations.
