Re: All this baloney about Camping Merit Badge and setting up

gang;
This needless(yes, needless Bruce) nitpicking has gone on too long. Some
of you would disqualify any night the kid doesn't pitch the tent by
himself. Get Real, Watch a young scout try to pitch a two man tent by
himself. Its usually a disaster. For crying out loud, its a TWO man
tent. The designer expected two people to set it up. As to Summer Camp,
How many camps that provide tentage even allow the scouts to repitch the
tents, None of the ones we've been to in the last 8 years. You going to
penelize the boy for some bureaucratic decision made in a council
office? On the other hand, I've also seen credit given for cabin
camping. Huh? Why not just accept that the requirements are not
perfectly written and concentrate on the specific achievements of the
boy. After all, ARE WE IN IT FOR THE RULES OR FOR THE BOYS?
