Utah Justice: BSA under house arrest...

Thoughts? Too harsh, or Justice is served?

When my dad was a boyscout, his camp nearly started a major fire in Yellowstone National Park. They'd built their campfire on a spot where there were some underground roots of a dead tree. The tree roots took fire, and smoldered underground even after the campfire was extinguished. Like a slowburning fuse the fire kindled underground for quite some time before burning out to tinder. Luckily, due to a "fluke" they ended up returning to their camp to look for something they'd forgotten, only to discover a bush burst into flames as they returned. They managed to extinguish the blaze, but the yellowstone rangers banned their troop from ever returning to the park.

I bet they're taking fire seriously these days.

In depositions in that case, Scouts said they extinguished a fire with water, urine and dirt and slept next to the site.


But in ordering a trial, a federal judge recently said there was no evidence that Scouts or the teen counselors conducted a "cold-out test." In that test, someone can safely run a hand through the coals and ashes
After peeing in the fire, they probably weren't to keen on doing the "cold-out test" with their hands.

Though, being scouts, they were more than happy to use a buddy's hand...
