Sometimes rules are made to treat the symptom and not the desease. We use them in our cars while traveling on outings. I find them annoying with uneccesary chatter, even from a few leaders. No big deal so it's not an issue I'd even consider addressing. Two years ago, as we neared a camp we've never been to before, we started to hear all sorts of chatter on multiple channels, mostly scouts yakin' away. If we were relying upon the radios solely to navigate the last few turns, it could have confused a few folks. We each had maps and it was not that difficult to find, but I was annoyed that we spent the last 10 minutes of the drive switching between channels to try to find one that was clear. Again, no big deal, but I could have easily gone without the FRS.

That evening at the openning campfire, the staff announced the policy of no FRS radios as it interferes with their communications. I don't know if this true or just an excuse they use to help enforce the rule. Ours are intended for travfel only do they were already stashed. Plus scouts don't need any electronic devises at camp.
