I don't know any thing about the Bears, except those I have met through Wood
Badge and this message isn't long enough for that topic, but what difference
does it make if the Bear is trying to get to a "smellable" to decide if it
is a "rewardable", you still have an unexpected and unwelcomed (?) encounter
when the animal rummages through your tent/camp don't you?
just reading and learning (alot).
Wishing all Scouters, and everyone else too, a safe and happy holiday
season.
