[pct-l] Whitney and one's pack?

Ok, I just have to know.  How in the world did you ever get in the boy scouts.  In my day, we never had any "girls" in our ranks.  The leaders would never have allowed  "girls anywhere near us.  When we went on camping trips, the Girl scouts were always camped on the other side of the lake, and the closest we could get was looking through binoculars across the lake.  And believe me, the guy with the binoculars was a popular guy.
