You left out one- insurance. My brother was a camp counciler for years, and he was told constantly that the legal weenies said that this, that and the other thing couldn't be done. The other problem he saw was one we are familiar with- the "expert" who doesn't know his tukkus from a tree trunk. I don't know if I can say specifics because I wasn't part of those messes, but I will say that there was some really sketchy and just flat out wrong information told to kids.

Where I'm going to have a problem with BSA is, at least around here, it has very strong theological ties. Since I'm not Christian, I have a real problem with being told I have to pray to thier god. I bailed after the first "class" in basic survival gave the "stop-think...." drill as "stop-pray...". I would like to say that a lot of that was the Troop leadership, but I also know that publicly "heathen" leaders just don't seem to exist in this council. As a "pagan", I was told be several leaders in my brother's troop (different from mine) that even though I was wanted to help out, I was not to let the door hit me on the way out.
