Yes, but "be prepared"! Boy scouts for the most part take great care of their camping equipment. I have volunteered for our local scout troop to take care of the tents and repair them when necessary. I have received tents back soaking wet, filled with dirt, taffy stuck to the interior wall, pocket knife slits in the floor, and more. Fortunately, these hold up so well that when I am done spraying them off (and spraying the inside with water in extreme cases) they look beautiful and ready for the next camp out. Your best bet is to give them responsibility when it comes to maintaining them and they'll be more careful to not "drop" their pocket knife and puncture the floor.
