Susan,
Looking at the local Girl Scouts, they seem to be "sell sell sell", while some of the Boy Scout or Explorer troops are fairly Hard Corps. I know they troop I was with (now disbanded for more than 20 years) was fairly hard corps - we used to go out for at least one 2 night campout EVERY month - rain or shine.

I can remember helping evacuate one of the younger guys who horsed around, and managed to get hypotermia one night - we got him home instead of making him stick the second night <img src="/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

Then there was the time the peninsula we were camping on got cut off by a rising flash flood - THAT was a wet miserable weekend, even for those of us who had a clue - wake up at 2:00am with an evacuation, move to high ground, wait till daylight, and have to hike the LONG way around ( about 6 miles - long hike for kids with full packs), in the pouring rain to get back to where we were parked. Camping when it was well below 0F (the same guy who got the hypothermia the year before was fine on that one - he learned)

Thank goodness no MAJOR injuries - ever. We were always ready for them, but never needed to use the gear
