I can see why there's an issue. I read the whole page of rules. That's a lot of rules. It would be hard to avoid every situation where one child and one adult might be in the same space together in say, a camping trip, even if for just a short time. For instance, an adult might have to go find a child if they're late for something. Taking two adults to go find that one child would probably leave others unattended. On the other hand, I can see the need for the rules. It's a difficult situation. Are there any ideas floating around about how to solve this situation? As the article mentions, it affects more than just the Boy Scouts.
