As a long time camper and scouter, tried to think how to weign in on this. If you think SP bans don't work out right, try taking scouts to a scout facility with a burn ban. YIKES but it happens just as described you check the county its fine you get there BAN.
The ranger at the scout camps only position (and I feel sorry for this guy as some weekends you're effecting 200 plus scouts with a ban) is that they are their to protect the park for now generations and future generations, and scouts are taught fire safety early on but he (the generic he) wants them and others to enjoy the park next time too. So despite nashing of teeth, no fire program and even warmth in the fall, the camping goes on.
Try to fight thru it just remember its better than sitting inside doing nothing kind of think of it as that trip where you forgot to bring the stove or the food (not me) and enjoy yourself, no one ever died wishing they spent more time at work. But many wish they could spend more time outside
