Your mention of camping spankings reminded me of an event when I was around 11 or 12 years old. I was fairly active in Boy Scouts. We had been on a campout near local mountains and one of the boys whose dad was one of the Scout Leaders got into some sort of trouble. I remember seeing the Scout Leader taking his son by the arm into a tent, followed by the clear sound of a thorough spanking, that sounded bare bottom. I just remember being glad that it was not me and I know some of the other boys that heard it were snickering, but I would imagine that at least a few the boys were not immune to such discipline themselves at home. I never saw any other boys spanked on outings such as that, so I imagine that with it being the Scout Leaders own son was a factor.

Depending on the era , I think it would have been acceptable for boy and Girl Scouts to be punished by the leader , for stupid or dangerous behaviour. Being outdoors needs extra safety protocols to be followed or red bottoms to follow.
I remember as a parent getting a list of rules to sign before my daughter went camping, I never heard if she got punished.What happens in camp…..stays in camp!
