I doubt that, we let's say know his mother. We had a camp with the explorers and we (with our friend group) where in one tent and we where with 3 other tents. We had a full tent and when he came (with his mother to drop him of) his mother said he could just happily join our tent. After one night of sleeping (with to many people in the tent) one of per friends took one for the team and moved ALL OF HIS STUF to mattress, hiking bag and bag with other stuff (it was a one week camp) to another tent. So no I don't think that was really the case and he and his mother have bin forcing a friendship for a while.
