    I DVRd it and watched the first part with my kids. It was a fun reality show and interesting. It was late so we only watched the first elimination. As an Eagle Scout myself I am rooting for the scouts to win!

    I loved it! The adults were stronger but the kids had more endurance. Those kids looked tough.

    Finished watching it last night with the kids and the first thing my son said was, "Dad can we watch it next week?" I found it very interesting. I was impressed with the scouts and the adult who won. He didn't give up and was determined.

    I watched the premiere Monday night and enjoyed it very much. As a Boy Scout and 20 year adult leader, I believe this show could be one of the best promotions of scouting I've seen in a long time. The boys did a great job, looking forward to the next episode.

    Cool Tonight's episode...

    Two things I really liked on tonight's episode: The "10 Essentils discussion," and the display of the "Scout spirit" where the scouts aided the adult in his endeavor to compete. super-cool! .....

    Yes!

    Unlike most reality T.V. the scouts are eliminating the weakest competition first and taking on the biggest competition the final round. It is a strategy that is different than Survivor or some of the other shows where the strategy is often to eliminate the greatest threat to winning. Next week two of the adults taking on the Boy Scouts are Eagle Scouts also. The preview did not look good though as it looked like two of the competitors were not in very good physical condition.
