      This past saturday, I was on the porch of our Meeting House,  tending to some maintenance, when I looked up to see a young man walking by (we are at the north end of a county "history " trail. ), and I said hello.  He was carrying a backpack, looked to be fully equipped, he had two hiking "sticks".  We spoke for awhile.

      Hmm, nothing like adults meddling in scouts business. Merit badge requirements are between the scout and the counselor. Also, when adults start talking about shortcuts, they are mentoring shortcuts to the scouts. We must be careful that we don’t teach advancement over adventure. Sounds like a great campout. I’m jealous. Barry

      There’s nothing stopping a scout from carrying his/her pack throughout the trip.
