Mitch:
I am sorry that happened to you.
As noted, that was a leadership failure. Boys do not play "Lord of the Flies" with responsible adults present.
Our son has been in scouting since he was five or six. While the younger boys will go running through the woods at night with chemlites, flashlights, and sticks, the adults always rein them in before it gets too far out of control. IMHO, it is because few of them are allowed to use their outside voices enough and be boys.
I was not a scout, but our son is, and it is one of the highlights of his life. He loves to go camping and participating in scout activities.
