[philmont] tents

A suggestion on tent selection - at some district function all participants
could pitch their favorite tent and have a handout available that describes
the who/what/when/where&why of the tent.

This could lead to a better understanding of the choices available.

If done at a camporee this could also provide the boys the opportunity to
learn about the different kinds of tents. Any time in Scouting you provide
a boy an opportunity to learn that there is more than one way of doing
something (e.g. providing for shelter) the better the educational experience
in Scouting becomes.

There seem to be pretty good pictures of tents online. Seeing them in
person will still be valuable.

sleeping bag inside a tent without a floor, and got mighty wet one morning
when the dew on the grass looked like a field of grapes).
