If you ever tried to rub sticks together to start a fire, or watched them try to do it on Survivor, you would see that there is no way a Cub scout or most Boy Scouts will be able to do it. The idea of Boy Scouts is Be Prepared, so when you go into the woods you should take fireproof matches, tinder (dryer lint is fabulous), and a flint to make sparks if the matches fail. By being prepared you don't need to rub sticks together... Hope that makes sense. :-) Rob Lisa, I understand your concern, but…

My son is a cub scout. So this year in Webelos he was taught how to start a fire...WITH A FIRE STARTER PURCHASED FROM THE STORE AND LINT FROM THE DRYER!!! I thought this was supposed to be a survival technique in case you were stranded in the wilderness. What happened to rubbing sticks together? So what happens if you are lost in the woods and didn't bring your trusty flint thingy and dryer lint? lol <a href="http://www.babysittingworld.com" rel="nofollow">Lisa McLellan, Child Care Expert - Babysitters, Nannies, and Au-pairs</a> I know that this isn’t actually about boy scouts and starting fires, but it reminded me of something that got me really upset, so now I’m going to vent….
