Don't scout leaders believe in giving lessons? They're a menace.


Yeah, maybe a menace and it's a real shame you injured
yourself but on the other hand kids on the water, that's
a *good* thing, right ?


Only if somebody teaches them to not be a menace to themselves and others
first.

30 years ago when I was taken canoeing by my YMCA day camp, they spend
some time in a secluded bay teaching us strokes and how to handle the
canoes before being sent into a popular paddling area. These morons
didn't even TRY to steer or stop. They didn't even say "sorry".
