I think the scouts were lucky to see bears.

You're kidding. Did you read the story? These kids were attacked by three bears. There's nothing "lucky" about that, except that the kids didn't get seriously injured or killed.

I hunt and hike in New Jersey, and I consider myself very fortunate when I see bears, as I do very frequently. Still, I wouldn't think I was lucky if a bear came after me.

Hi Huck-

It is fortunate the scouts were able to see bear in the wild, but it would have been better if they had been looking for bear, and were accompanied by level-headed men with training, pepper spray, and adequate firearms. Stumbling upon bear without preparation isn't the most pleasant experience one could have.
