Our troop has always had Colemans. The old farts that control the purse always insisted on it. Luckily they had some Kelty V2s for backpacking so when I went to Philmont I could take a really good tent.
I can guarantee that if it rained that blue tent got wet.
This particular weekend we had anticipated a storm and set up close to that cliff. Still got wupped. Well at least the people in the blue tents did. The green tents are from a previous buy and I had set up in one of them. I knew they held up as I had rode out some serious storms in one. In the middle of the night the scout master wakes me up and is like get you rain gear on and help me get these little boys to the cars we are goin back to town to the scout building.
