MADRID — The motto of the Boy Scouts of America is to be prepared. That’s all well and good, except I got kicked out of scouting as a Webelo (the stage between Cub Scouts and Boy Scouts). I was never awarded a preparedness merit badge and don’t even know if there is such a thing, though I feel as if I have armored up for all potential setbacks while hosting over 40 groups of more than 1,200 people through lots of European countries over a six-year period. In all those travels, I have never had a transportation problem.
Until yesterday.
