A cheap air mattress might be fine for simple overnights with the scouts,
but when on week long trips in the boundary waters, or more importantly, in
cold weather, they are simply not acceptable. Most Boy Scout troops
recommend that the boys use closed cell foam pads since they are almost
indestructible.

For cubscout camping trips, we just go to the dollar store and get the
pool air beds. I've used the same one 5 times and hasn't let me down.
