Open tents? I've never seen that! My brother loved being in the boy scouts. Loved the winter camping in frigid WI. His back pack almost weighed as much as he did. No camp fire? What kind of camping is that??

I think you are right that it is the kind of camping they are doing that's the problem. I've heard that boyscouts are not allowed bug spray, which is bad enough!

I also found the girlscout meetings and all the crafts and badges really boring. I only stayed in for the camping, but ours was in lodges when it was cold or in normal tents. (I preferred the lodges!)

There is no shame in the boys not enjoying this kind of camping. It's a shame it's being done like that.
