"Scouts could be given condoms"

Tee hee, is that before or after they take them to special screenings of Brokeback Mountain?

It reminds of that old joke which was hilarious when I was 15:

- If you woke up in a field with grass stains on your knees and a used condom up your arse would you tell anyone?

- No

- Do you want to go camping?

Actually, I'm really more surprised that they haven't found a million and one uses already for them - like keeping their matches and firelighters dry...:)

I saw a clip of that film once. They seemed to be discussing "the bottom line". Did I imagine it?

Excellent suggestion, Coats:-

Carrying water
Protecting gun barrels
Floats for a raft
Buoys to mark fishing lines
Catapult elastics
Short tourniquets for minor injuries
Temporary piping, pipe join sealing
Clipping & fastening e.g. round pipe joins (yes, I have just finished installing a dishwasher and had the pipes apart)
Pierce finely and use as temporary filter (the holes tend to stretch so it's only a short use)
Ankle bands to keep trousers and socks shut tight against snakes
Small amounts of emergency lube (which makes them not so useful as grip surfaces to help you get torque on a jar lid).
Hairbands.

I read in Private Eye that teens in {*forget which country..lets say Vietnam} were rubbing condoms on their faces as the lubricant was terrific at getting rid of acne. The local authority became very worried at the sudden rise in prostitution and all these new prostitutes claiming their months supply of free condoms.

Should imagine that the scouts would find this useful.
