[Paddlewise] Any tips for Scout Kayak Trips?

I was recently asked to instruct a few Scout packs on
water safety and overnight kayak trips.

I am very well practiced with safety equipment and
have plenty of it for the troops. I have just finished
reading this months article in Backpacker on Scouts
and (surprise to me) now I am working with them.
          My main concern is...
What is it like camping with scouts?
I imagine - very organized teens hustling about like
worker ants assembling and disassemblig camps, crafts,
plenty of skills testing etc. 
My brothers used to be in Scouts and they always had
to pack some cat food "just in case".  
Regarding that last statement - how prepared should I
be for this overnight trip? I have never had to bring
all that before, so this will definitely be a fun
learning experience.

We will paddle about 9 - 11 miles a day, with a couple
small portages about 100 yds each.
Boats= a fleet of Perception Acadia's (mostly), 2
SeaLion's (counselors), Carolina's and Keeowee 2's. I
will be in my friends Shadow - which I have paddled on
many longer trips 25 miles +.

Any Scout Boating Stories? - besides the scary one in
Canoe and Kayak last year.

Any tips?

Let me hear from you.
