Oh believe me Ken.. those of us involved in the program are very well aware of the reputation that some have of us in the wilderness. Then again... alot of those who aren't involved in Scouts get their opinions of our backcountry "ethics" and "behavior" through the media and "I Shouldn't Be Alive"....

And you're right... this thread has been a rather... interesting... discussion...
