Introduction/? on alchohol stoves

Boy, am I glad I found this group! I live in north central Idaho. I use
to love to backpack as a youngster/boy scout. I Hit 20yrs old, college
etc.. and didn't continue the hobby. Well now (20 years later) I would
like to get started again. I have 1 son just into boy scouts, and
another starting in February when he crosses over from cub scouts. What
could be a better excuse to get back into the hobby? I'm exited!  I am
the Cubmaster of approximately 70 boys, District trainer and merit badge
counselor, trained thru wood badge in scouting. I also serve on the
committee of our troop, been asked by a few to be scoutmaster after the
present one retires this coming up May (Haven't decided yet). 
 
I am taking my Webelos Cub Scouts on an overnighter in October. I'd like
to do something special for an activity the Webelos can do themselves
(with supervision). Give them a sense of accomplishment and maybe spark
there interest into backpacking.
So here is my idea; To build alcohol stoves and let them cook a meal for
themselves and their parent. I think this would go over great. The Boy
Scout troop their going into will be there, got to show them we know
what we are doing. <grin>. 
 
Now my questions:
What would be the best design for this endeavor? I'm leaning toward the
non epoxy types because of building/drying time. But I am concerned with
them not being tuff enough, i.e... Kid bumps it, drops it, gets a little
loose and develops leaks, dangerous for the kids. My biggest concern is
for the safety of the boys! I do think this would be an awesome project
for the boys and leave lasting memories. So I am seeking your wisdom to
make it a safe one also. (Nothing worse than an ignorant greenhorn
leader) 
 
One more question, please.  The photon stove intrigues me. The links to
Don Johnston's photon stove don't work. I've spent 4 hrs searching
google and the archives of this group and have yet to find a good
description/picture. I have a copy of Bill Jones, but don't feel there
is enough info on the burner.  Does any one have a copy they could email
me. 
 
After looking thru the archives, I am really exited about finding this
group, what a great group of backpackers! And thanks for the help.
 
Happy Trails,
Brian
