Will they get hazard pay?

Is the quadrennial Boy Scout Jamboree starting to sound a bit like a war zone? The latest from the AP:
More than 300 Boy Scouts were sickened by the heat Wednesday while waiting for President Bush to arrive at a memorial service for four Scout leaders who were killed while pitching a tent beneath a power line.
I'm half-expecting Ted Koppel to start reading a list of names on the air, and protests to begin to bring the 40,000-plus scouts back home.
