    "Are you tougher than a Boy Scout?"

    A reality show being filmed this summer "Are you tougher than a Boy Scout" and two my scouts were picked to be in the show. Ye-haw.... And they are taking their hammocks. A DIY Speer and a HH Exped.
    They head off to "tv camp" a week from monday. When I know more I'll keep you posted.
    This piture was taken at their ordeal about four years ago. Big Bear Troop 49 CIEC

    A show that could actually be good. I hope that all the boy scouts involved stay true to their motto and show what the boy scouts are about on TV. It'd be good for some wholesome entertainment again.

    Amen brother. I was thinking the same thing.

    This could be very good for scouting as a whole if it's handled well.

    Tell your boys good luck from this scouter please.

    what a great idea!

    I miss scouting! If I had more time in life, I'd like to help out with a local troop. But...alas, I don't.

    Better than shows about storage units, repo men, Jersey Shore and the Kardashians...

    As a former Boy Scout and the husband to a Girl Scout Leader and father to a Girl Scout- I applaud.

    We need more visible quality role models for our youth. This will be great exposure for hammocks also!

    Cool! I hope they enjoy their time in this spotlight, and +1 on the comments above. Tell 'em to have fun while out-toughing their competition!

    Good for them! If I still had cable, I'd definitely add this one to my "to-watch" que. It's about time a "reality" show actually had a passing relationship with reality.

    Thanks to you all. They will be competing against adults using the the boy scout handbook as a guide. About a 100yrs worth of scouting.
