Something is really bothering me about this whole issue.
No has as yet mentioned how these Leaders who leave camp for
a drink intend on returning to camp. As we are trying to
teach people of all ages not to drink and drive I hope
these Leaders are planning on WALKING back.

No one here is implying a witch hunt just stating the
fact that ALL Leaders should follow the rules as we would
want our youth to.
