We have many nests in the loft. They only go under the eaves, and the
only time you get any flying in the loft is if you happen to go up there
and turn the light on for some time, in the winter, and a queen thinks
it's spring and flies toward the light. There is nothing inside the loft
to attract them and they would not fly around in there in the dark.

Many thnks for that reassuring post.

If your wife is really a Scout camper she ought to know all this
anyway...

The term Scouter is very loosely used these days for the four different
age ranges involved.

Beaver Scouts
Cub Scouts
Scouts as we think about them and
Venture Scouts.

Only the first two groups are active in our local area.

And similarly the NHM's kids section:

As I recall the Beavers can be very handy at weeding allotment patches
too...
