I've never heard of this, but am HIGHLY interested in hearing from anyone that has witnessed this or has FIRSTHAND knowledge.
I am an OA EagleScout in the BSA, and was considering writing the area council a letter about this fact.
The Boy Scouts reguarly has shooting classes, and in the case of summer camps that I attended, had bonafide military scout/snipers teach the classes. Once you attended the class 3 times, and were at least 16 years old, you learned actual combat tactics directly from the snipers themselves.
Of course, this camp was near Fort Polk, but I find it disgusting that some Boy Scouts functions are being made firearms-free when the very orgainization I belong to organized with the U.S. military in order to teach the older Scouts military sniper tactics.
In fact, check this out:
