Good points all. I guess what I'm the most critical of is it seems like every year we are having a scout go missing here in Utah who carries no gear. It inevitably ends up that they were at a camp doing everything except camping. They should not set foot outside of city limits without a knife, a PSK, and the knowledge to use them. (I'm aware that I'm preaching to the choir here but at least I feel better <img src="/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />.)
