I get what is being said, a lot of camps are literally used for only 6 to 8 weeks a year and then they sit unused drawing resources for maintenance.
Is the board really trying, or is it just for show? I have become very jaded about how boards operate based on stories I see, and local experience. They seem to not make the issue public until it is too late to do much, and often many are completely caught off guard.
Another reason on adult attitudes was WHEN (emphasis) they were in Scouting. I know a former Scouter who was an Eagle in the 1972-1979 "Improved Scouting Program" era. That was when it was possible to be an Eagle without a single night of camping. He could not understand why camping was important.
