If you’re going to Trick-or-Treat this year, do it safely.
This Halloween is unlike any we’ve seen before, forcing us to get more creative to find spooky and safe ways to have fun.
While many will be staying home this year, doing backyard candy hunts or busting out a Halloween piñata for the first time, it is safe in some areas to Trick-or-Treat following CDC social distancing guidelines.
You can review the map at halloween2020.org to see the risk level in your area and gauge appropriate activities for your family.
If you choose to Trick-or-Treat, remember to:

Introducing Extra Hands and Pods in The Troop®
Over the past few weeks, it’s become clear we’re going to be here for awhile. I think we all knew it, but as we approach a new school year (minus the going back to school) we’ve had to face it.
