There are some who do not even do these on a campout. They are done in indoor classrooms with 30 scouts and a mB "counselor" doing a 2-3 hour presentation including a few hands-on activities. These mB universities cheapen the mB and deny scouts real opportunities. It is both saddening and maddening.
In my youth, most camporees had a theme and scouts could earn 1 MB by participating. You're telling me some districts try to cram multiple MBs into a single weekend campout?
I have spent a good deal of time at Sabbatis SR, (and at Sabbatis Adventure Camp, already sold...https://www.adirondackdailyenterprise.com/news/local-news/2021/11/sabattis-camp-sold-as-scouts-declare-bankruptcy-2/ )
Two beautiful properties that were the essence of Scouting. Now gone.
