RE: [Philmont]: electronics?

> From: Donald S. Roberts [mailto:donald@hummellawfirm.com]

Oh, and speaking of not banning *all* electronic devices, how
did I forget that handiest of all electronic devices, the
FLASHLIGHT. I'll bet Brad brings one of those too. I even think
it is listed in the SCOUT ESSENTIALS in the handbook.

Let's face it, NO ONE wants to ban *all* electronic devices, not
even Brad. What we're talking about is electronic entertainment, and
electronic tools (like GPS and hand held radios) that are way too
easy to treat as entertainment devices.

Singling out "electronics" for a ban is misguided at worst,
misleading at best.
