That's really good to know that there are some Scoutmasters out there who carry. As a scout leader myself, I know the BSA rules have prohibited it, but I always wondered...Around 2010, I was a scoutmaster and every year we took the boys on a two-night backpacking trip through Uwharrie National Forest. One year, we had set up camp—you just find a place near the trail and near water and make camp—I saw two men in the camp talking to two of the boys. Turns out they had no bad intent, they were former Eagles themselves and out camping. But it impressed upon me how vulnerable we were. That’s when I applied for my permit.
BSA rules prohibit carry, because they think the boys will be safer out in the woods if their leaders are utterly helpless to protect them. But I was never without one again.
Another time, I had a truckload of scouts coming back from a trip in Virginia and came to a roadside checkpoint. I was glad it was not in NC where I would have had to declare the firearm because all the scouts and their parents would have known it before we got home.
