I am a ASM for our troop in SC and I am glad to see this discussion. I like the general rules that are being posted as well. This is a good guide to help get rules established for my troop. I hammock camp and plan on having a hammock hanging demo for our troop next month. I am proud to be a member of Palmetto State Hangers and have enjoyed the events I have went to this year. At summer camp this year more than half of our scouts and leaders were in hammock and some were hung appropriately and some were not. I am making it my goal to have a set of rules in place for hammocks within the next month that will run parallel to our troop rules on tents. I love camping in hammocks and want to help our scouts have a similar experience with hammocks, but at the same time show them the ways to do it responsibly. I thank all the parents who are involved in scouting and am honored to be a ASM.
