Brought back some camp memories... "WHYY’s (PBS) arts and culture reporter Peter Crimmins first became interested in radio in the fourth grade, when he smuggled a contraband crystal-diode radio into the Boy Scout summer camp.

Cinnaminson, NJ: Another example - scouts portraying victims in a mass casualty drill During the (mass casualty) drill, which was designed to simulate a high-intensity emergency situation on NJ TRANSIT’s River LINE, the Boy Scouts pretended to be the victims of the staged transportation accident. The exercise aimed to test the response capabilities of local emergency services, including first responders, transit police, and medical personnel. The drill scenario involved a mock collision between a car and a train, requiring a coordinated response from multiple agencies. Troop 13'

Members of the PFD Sergeant Zach Gibbons and Captain Kyle Brock began by discussing the Incident command structure for handling an emergency situation. Additional members of PFD assisted with individual instructions for the Scouts on how to shut off service to home water and electrical, as well as how to safely mark them in a disaster situation and inform responders upon arrival. “This even

Maybe it is old-school me. Apparently it doesn't matter to that Council and it works for them. If Council asked me to volunteer for an adult-only Easter Egg Hunt, Costume contest fundraiser at OUR Camp, I would assume it was an April Fool Joke and hang up.
