I just wanted to see if there were any Boy Scouts on this BBS or had kids that are Scouts.
I have a 17 year old Eagle Scout. I never was a scout and I thought it was just BS but after being a Scout dad for 5 years I have a new found respect for the insitution.

I did too. It teaches you just how mutch you cab take and gives you great self confidence. The most I did was a 26 day Desert one n Utah. They gave you a strict list of what you could bring and checked you when you got there. They issued you a measured amount of food, that if you could make it streach...it would last you 10 days. You had to make it the other 16. Into the bargan we had to hike 75 miles and be solo for a week. They also taught us mountain climing, repelling and even hiking at night (no flashlights allowed). It was truly a great experience.
