Trevor Nimegeers wrote an open letter to Scouts Canada on LinkedIn a few weeks ago in which he argued for various reasons why “all Canadians should care” about Scouts Canada. One of the things he highlighted was the perhaps unique opportunity not just to use technology in new and innovative ways, but also to disconnect from technology entirely and take time to discover themselves.

We take some time to discuss this, especially in light of Ken's recent experiences on a “device free” Cub Camp.
