I'm headed up to a week of BSA summer camp with my son tomorrow. I always wondered why the Scouts aren't allowed to at least use their 10 essentials, including a poncho. The Scouts who did this MB last year didn't get much sleep that night. They said they mostly sat around a campfire and yacked it up. They spent much of the afternoon of the next day sleeping. :-)

For me the biggest issue would be mosquitos, as they can be pretty thick in the woods of central Wisconsin. Did you allow Scouts to bring & use mosquito repellent?
