[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The appeal of Boy Scouting is to have a well developed program that allows boys to grow into men in an [b]all male environment,[/b] learning skills,  traditions, leadership and respect.

One of the biggest draws of the program is the all boy environment.

Unfortunately BSA has imploded in an attempt to be too many things to too many people.[/quote]

My son tried it for 2 years and didn't like it. His den leaders were moms. They did a great job but the reason he joined was to have male role models. The den leaders' husbands came to the meetings but weren't involved. His den wasn't the only one with moms as leaders.[/quote]

We went through this too.  Older son's scouting activities were male dominated and well run by both the older scouts and the fathers who supported them.  Great experience.  Younger son's scouting activities were run by well intended moms but really just never had the same level of engagement despite our best efforts.  Now the PC influences have really taken over and I'm afraid scouting is a lost cause.[/quote]
