addressing PDA by scouters in uniform ?

...either way it's okay to wake up with yourself.

Those sound like good lyrics, someone ought to use them in a song. Oh wait...

Single tents or bivouac sacks are sounding more appealing, either way it's okay to wake up with yourself.

 

Common showers are slowly going by the wayside as are non-stalled toilet facilities.  Why would tents be any different?

Most of the Scouts in our Troop who are past Star agree.  (we have a longstanding rule that they have to get to Star Scout before tenting alone (I'd change it to First Class, but they haven't asked me)).

Yes, our troop allows scouts to use single man tents provided they bring their own. Being a back packing or minimalist program, I support it. But it wasn't that long ago this forum debated single man tents because a scout might become ill and nobody would know. I still support single man tents, but I can think of two scouts who tent mates had to get help in the middle of the night because they became so ill. Seems nothing is easy.
