Troop 371 out of Auburn, AL. We have only three constant hangers.... But, we're always the most comfortable..
We have several young guys that are really interested though.

Dang It...I just read I was too fat for scouts, and no more hobo stoves...that is it I am giving up ... reading...
Teaching scouts to build fires and explore the world since 1985, two time scoutmaster, Eagle Scout and current member of Troop Committee for Troop 439 in Rthschild WI. We have 67 boys in the troop and probably a dozen or so hanging.
Roger and Shug put on the Gift of the woods show and I think we have another 12-20 who are really interested now.
too bad about me being too fat for scouts though...too much dutch oven cobbler? I didn't think that was possible.

We never fail when we try to do our duty, we always fail when we neglect to do it. -- Robert Baden-Powell
Troop 424 Cleveland Ohio got the hammock bug from a friend in a different troop during summer camp beats the hell out of the canvas heat boxes
Scout Master of Troop 210 Carolina Beach, NC here.

ASM at Troop 85, Yocona Area Council, Tupelo, Mississippi.
Got the bug at the Boy Scout National Jamboree in 2010 when I looked at the camping Meritbadge display and it had a WBBB set up.
Found this forum and the rest is history.
Have been Hammocking since then - no tents at all once I did my own DIY gathered end and sil tarp.
My two boys (oldest just finished Eagle Project and waiting on BOR later this month & youngest getting 2nd class next week) both have their own hammocks & tarps and we hiked on the AT at Fontana Dam last summer and used them - LOVED IT!!!
Oldest is a full-timer but youngest still isn't sure about it.
Several in troop are asking and I am working with them on their first rigs.
We also camp on a lot of Select Soccer Tornaments and have one dad and his son who are hammocking in an ENO DN.
I am on the Jamboree Contingent leadership (2nd Asst. Scoutmaster) for 2013 and plan on bringing my hammock and two-pole self-suspended rig for my personal hang...they say all tent & cots will be furnished and we have to carry all of our personal gear in a ruck to the campsite. I will stash this in my bag and use the nested poles as a heavy hiking stick into camp! Should be interesting to see how it works.
