Cub to Boy Scouts was a major part of my life. I can't imagine not being involved in some capacity or other. Good and bad, do it all again in a heart beat, and I still contend, there's stuff there, that you would be hard pressed to learn anyplace else.
But the physiology of the thing, can't be disregarded, simply kids are more susceptible to hypothermia then adults, and my ED treats an adult at least once a week, in da Bronx.
