I can’t imagine anything more stupid than going out into the woods unprepared. 

To me a scout “leader” should be prepared to defend his troop. 

A nice 1911 45 on his hip would have been a LOT more effective than a rock hammer.

And, depending upon the ages of the scouts, they could be packing as well. 

What would out pioneering fore fathers say?

Fools and wimps, maybe.

Glad everyone survived.
