    The 47 scouts that came back can use this as an opportunity to get their search & rescue badges.

    A 6% loss Isn’t too bad.

    Reminds me of the bit in Hogan’s Heroes where Sgt. Schultz says “How can I make a report when one prisoner is missing?!” and Col. Hogan replies “Look on the bright side: 14 are still here.”

    Just like the old child-abuser sang, you’ve got to accentuate the positive.

    He should’ve left all 50 behind; “what hike?”.

    Hey, come on ! Somebody’s gotta be bait to distract the bear so the others can scatter to safety. Am I right ……?

    The other 3 got lost while texting on their phones. And then the batteries died.

    I used to run field trips on the 10% rule. If you came back plus or minus 10%, you were good. Pick up a few hitchhikers to have some spares.

    you’re doing it wrong. you send the 50 kids into the woods and you lock the door after the last one leaves and put on the game so you can watch it in peace.

    I’m obviously a bad person but I don’t like people who are too positive.

    Unless you have a crystal ball and are able to predict the future then don’t be so positive please.

    Blossom’s theme song, #3:

    Don’t know about the future, that’s anybody’s guess.Ain’t no good reason for getting all depressed.Buy up your pad and pencil, I’ll give you a piece of my mind,In my opinionation, the sun is gonna surely shine.

    Stop all your fussin’,Slap on a smileCome out and walk in the sun for awhile.

    Don’t fight the feeling, you know you want to have a good time.And in my opinionation, the sun is gonna surely shine.

    I’m positive you’re a failure as a Scout Leader, Scotty. Focus on that!

    He didn’t really take 50, but in the end he rounded them up.
