Way back when, I was in the scouts.
Back then they called me "Hyper" because we didn't have ADHD yet.
I was on and off of drugs more powerful than Ritalin for being "hyper".
They used to take us out in the woods try to get us lost and then make us find our own way back to camp with no air-horn, walkie-talkie, map, or compass, only the sun and the terrain to guide us.

I say this kid is a dork! not a victim of the scouts. The scouts don't put kids through half of the crap they used to. Every troop has got their dork. This dork ran off, got lost and caused a lot of people needless distress.

I was in the Scouts way back when too. I never liked people that called folks with less ability dorks.
