[at-l] Advice, please on tents for my scouts

[Lurker]

Right, I also understand that.  As I said, my response was mostly tongue
in cheek.  However, it is also true that making the boys do anything
they don't want to do is now considered to be harassment.  As an
example, the boys are no longer allowed to require that one of their own
sing a song to get their lost and found back.  Harassment.  Some good
and some bad at the same time.

As Forrest Gump said, I've said enough about that.
