Maybe I'm too late for this, but the answer is, yes! . . . this would be a good tent for your cub scout if only because he's young. He'll grow into or out of it. He may decide he hates backpacking. It doesn't cost that much, which is always a consideration when just getting into something. The only real downside would be that he'll have to haul a five pound tent, but hey––a little sweat out there builds spirit. This is also a very easy tent to set up and it will endure a lot. I had a similar REI tent and it did a great job with all kinds of weather––even Nepal––where I finally donated it to some porters. Again, it's cost-effective, simple, sturdy and maybe just a little too heavy, but you can always dangle a lighter tent as a reward for his (or her) getting out in the backcountry.
