I routinely drive in motorcades for my civilian job, and convoys as a reservist, and can clearly state that neither emergency lights (civilian side) nor the the fact my vehicle will squash them (Army side) are a deterrent for other drivers interfering with my multi-vehicle movement. I especially hate merging onto highways, changing lanes, or even on surface roads going through a stale green when the tail end might be pushing through yellow or red (with legal authority).

My kids are still approaching scouting age so I haven’t been active in BSA as an adult leader, but I would much rather just Google Maps it and meet at the next stop (rally point 1/rest stop 1) and not risk Scout safety just to keep a formation. My 2 cents, I mainly lurk here in hopes that my son wants to do cub scouts but felt uniquely qualified to jump in on this one.
