Wow-nothing like jumping down someone's throat. My point was not to argue about the fuel, it was to make my point to the person that posted about Sean Whitley's death. They said that BSA no longer allows the use of rubbing alcohol - did they ever allow it? No, I am not a person who has been on this site before nor am I bashing the scouts. I was led to this site by an article that had mentioned my son's death. Just so all of you understand, my twin boys absolutely loved the scouts and worked for the camp for a few years. They lived for the scouts - in fact, I buried Sean in his scout uniform. Sean's death was caused by an Eagle scout playing with rubbing alcohol that he went out and purchased (not used as fuel) while he was supervising minors at the camp. Fireplay with bug spray, etc was also used to play with. His death was due more to a lack of supervision by the camp directors, as it was proven that they knew about it and sometimes participated. If I had to do it over, I still would have let him work at the camp he loved so much, but maybe I should have not put so much trust in the camp's supervision. His twin brother Ken did go on to receive his Eagle Scout honor that summer. Please, now make all your comments - I am not and won't be a regular on this discussion board, just wanted to clarify that alcohol was not banned because of Sean's death - it had never been allowed to begin with.
