We just took our Cub Scouts camping a couple of weekends ago. On their list of what to bring was a category 'What not to bring', it listed radio, gameboy, cd player, etc. Sad, but we had to do it! And, we didn't have any complaints. They found that playing commando in the woods was much more fun than video games. We did bring one high tech device (well 4, but the same device) - GPS units. We taught map and compass, and how to use GPS, it was sooo fun. The kids were covered with dirt by Sunday (no bathrooms, no nothin!). We prefer to rough it, and it was fun to share that with a bunch of boys, many who had never camped before!
