I ordered the Expedition and got the cub free but somehow thought we were getting a scout hammock (my fault). I can upgrade for $20 and get the scout and wanted to find out what others thoughts were as it isn't going to be set up until Christmas. My son is 13 but weighs in at 66.5 lbs and is 4' 8" tall. I don't want to jump up to an adult size as I'm afraid it will swallow him whole so I guess it's really comes down to either the cub or scout. Thanks.
I personally don't believe in child-sized hammocks - they have such limited utility. Your fears about adult-sized hammocks are probably misplaced. There's a reason Hennessy gives away Cubs and Scouts, 'cause they don't make much sense and they don't sell. Nobody else even tries to sell kid-sized hammocks, which tells you something right there.

The cub specs are 5'7" and 120 vs scout 5'8 150. I would keep the cub and let him use it for a few years. Then sell that and upgrade to full size if he is still into it. I would factor in potential for your scout to grow 11 inches and 50 in the next few years. I don't think there will be any difference in comfortable between the 2.
