For the last guiding activity of the season, I worked one (1) day at Bear Valley for a Boy Scout event. There were a few older boys who picked up belaying and rappelling reasonably well, but for the most part we just pretended that the 11-year-olds had any kind of competence while we actively backed up everything they did.
