Our boys are allowed to set up what they want to sleep in... Separate or together... By requiring sleeping with a partner you are really pushing the limits with the latest policies... Venture troops don't have boys and girls sharing tents to meet a requirement for multiple members in a tent so requiring scouts too is a problem.... Not that they shouldn't if they want but requiring isn't a good policy.
When taking part in some Order of the Arrow campouts you are required to sleep by yourself under a tarp that you've tied out and just on a pad on the ground so hanging a hammock under that tarp certainly counts toward a shelter. Besides, getting the boys separated out and comfy in hammocks just cuts back on the horseplay before bed...
