Sad, what a bunch of nancy's.
When I went to Philmont in '68, my patrol and all the patrols in our dual council contingent had ONE adult. ONE.
As my patrol trek progressed, our adult became more absent. He allowed us to do an overnight backpack up Mt. Baldy without him. Side hikes, bush-wacking no problem. We had the outdoor skills, it was time to let us strike out on our own. Adventure. We encountered a bear nosing in our tent, walked next to a rattlesnake, survived a bad lightning storm. Some adventure.
My son is leaving Boy Scouts. He hunts and backpacks but he can't do that
