I highly doubt that, since they lived in 3 different states. The solution is to drive a 15-passenger van loaded with 3 car seats. (these days, maybe 6 car seats, depending on local law) The kids got cars at age 16. Once one kid has a car, the situation becomes easier. Kids can be encouraged to do the same activities. There might be several kids in Boy Scouts, so that is just one trip. They sound like the sort of family that would encourage kids to walk or bicycle to places on their own. That could include going to a friend's house, then getting a ride with the friend.
