True for cubs, not true for Boy Scouts. We often had a max of 3 adults with us on many of our scouting expeditions. Hell, we sometimes had only 1 adult as a lot of the stuff we were doing, you couldn't drag most adults to do (float trips in the winter, camping in 10 degree weather, 20 mile backpacking trips).
