Cub Scout Hammocking?

[Stormstaff]

You should if you wanted to minimize all risk but I won't be that much above him and his hammock should be able to support both of us if I fall.

What about the weight of you landing on him?

The only thing I can add is in Cub Scouts we are dealing with 1st to 5th graders and when they see your hammock they are going to have to try it out. What I had to do was to limit the horse play around and in the hammock area. We don’t need to give BSA any reason to ban hammocks form cub scouts and possibly younger scouts. Remember BSA has very stringent guidelines on safety. The only other thing, if you are changing clothes makes sure you have a “Cub Scout appropriate” area to change. We always had a tent available to change in.

Good point.
