Kahuna Posted November 16, 2012 Share Posted November 16, 2012 Scouts and leaders may be interested in this little series. A friend sent it to me because he knew I'm a Scouter. This is a 12 year old boy who is sent out in various survival scenarios. The people who support the videos make sure he is backed up, so these are not situations Scouts should try on their own. Just makes for interesting discussions. http://www.youtube.com/user/Collabovies Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
packsaddle Posted November 17, 2012 Share Posted November 17, 2012 Thanks for the link. My grandsons are not old enough to do these things yet but I'll bet they will enjoy watching these videos and thinking about adventures they can have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SSScout Posted November 17, 2012 Share Posted November 17, 2012 Sort of "Hatchet" with an audience (think Gary Paulson has seen it?)... Very interesting, I will pass along. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
suzisk8 Posted November 18, 2012 Share Posted November 18, 2012 Since I have the YouTube app on my Xbox, our family was able to watch the first episode on TV and talk about it. My Bear thought it was cool and we talked about snakes and the shelter he built. Very cool concept. Thanks for the link! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brewmeister Posted November 18, 2012 Share Posted November 18, 2012 I think every parent/leader/adult who says "there's no way those boys can do that themselves" should watch this series... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kudu Posted November 19, 2012 Share Posted November 19, 2012 Although rare, boys like Alec are an exception to the general rule of thumb that eleven and twelve year-olds do not make good Patrol Leaders. It is a natural instinct for them to be leading hikes or overnights almost every weekend, living off the land as much as possible.

Kahuna Posted February 16, 2013 Author Share Posted February 16, 2013 Just thought I would update this. Alec has a new season out on YouTube with some cold weather adventures and now has his own website at http://www.alecinwilderland.com/. He lives not far from Dallas; the BSA should recruit this kid. He's already a children's survival instructor in a county organization. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
