Do you think the eagle scout lost on the mountain should be fined $25,000 for the rescue?
A Massachusetts teenager who spent three nights alone on Mount Washington in April after he sprained an ankle and veered off marked trails has been fined more than $25,000 for the cost of his rescue.
Scott Mason had been praised for utilizing his Eagle Scout skills — sleeping in the crevice of a boulder and jump-starting fires with hand sanitzer gel. But authorities say he wasn’t prepared for the conditions he encountered and shouldn’t have set out on such an ambitious hike.

Yes, he violated a strict tenant of Scouting; ALWAYS have a buddy. The fine will reinforce that everyone needs to follow the rules. The draconian punishment will serve as a warning to others. While the citizens must pay for the foolish decisions of government, government should not have to pay for the foolish decisions of individuals.
