Yeah, maybe once I get into that troop in a few years I will try to take it over.  I actually spend about half of my weekends backpacking either by myself or with adult friends.  As soon as my kids are older I fully expect them to start doing this with me, and when my son gets into Boy Scouts I plan on pushing for as many true back country trips as we can fit in each year.  The shit we did when I was in was just car camping, and while it was fun, I wish the leaders of my troop would have had the expertise to take us back packing.  I'm going to make that a reality for these boys.  And while I have see a few fat backpackers in my time, they are definitely not the norm.
