For 15 year old scouts (like myself) this is a great pack however, it IS a bit heavy i just came across this pack today at the scout store and it felt like a GREAT pack. If you are willing to spend a bit more i would suggest an Osprey pack, maybe the Aether 70 or Aether 85 if you need the extra space.

The Red Cloud is a great pack for scouts. It has an adjustable torso range and will put up with years of abuse. The other pack you should take a look at is the Kelty Yukon: http://www.backcountry.com/kelty-yukon-backpack-2900-3000cu-in The Yukon is one of the most popular scout packs in the Kelty line.
