The following was sent to me. I've responded as shown, but would
appreciate some GROUP ADVICE.

My reply:
GOOD QUESTION! I'm not sure.
The actual wording is as follows:
3. Since joining, have participated in ten separate
troop/patrol activities (other than troop/patrol
meetings), three of which included camping overnight.
I would interpret it as a MINIMUM of 3 campouts. But I could be wrong.
I'm going to post a copy of this to rec.scouting.usa and to Scouts-L and
see what others think.
