Thanks for that, I understand. I used to take a contingent of Boy Scouts into Mexico where they take Scouting very seriously, did it for years. As time wore on our friends in Mexico, families that the boys stayed with started dropping hints about the rising crime rate INCLUDING the potential of kidnapping for mega bucks. What better target than some Scouts?
My friends would drive me around showing me where certain gangs of note had tagged buildings, one of the gangs was MS-13. My friend said that when we started seeing those tags in Texas there would be major trouble.
It took awhile then we started seeing the tags and we stopped taking Scouts down there. Some said I was being overly cautious, nope, I said we were using common-sense, my call as Scoutmaster. I’m glad we stopped in light of what’s happening over there, bad enough on OUR side of the “frontier”.
Did mexican scouts come to visit you?
