[quote=Anonymous]Both DS and DD are in after school program, sport (rec soccer for DS & gymnastic for DD), language school & seasonal swimming classes. DH has a demanding job working with odd schedules, and I could say I am the sole caregiver for kids. I work full time with some tight deadline. I would love to enroll DS in cub scout or DD in girl scout, I can't manage to do both because time is not allowed. I lean towards doing girl scout for DD for more mother and daughter time and I hear girl friendship will get more complicated over time. I think DD may benefit from girl scout more in the long run, and she is in K. K is the best timing to join girl scout for possible long term friendship development. DS missed the best timing to join due to covid, and he is 3rd grader. I am not even sure if 3rd grade is kind of late to join.

If I do so, I have some mom guilt for DS because he does not have close friends at school. It seems like I take away the opportunities for him to develop friendship outside school. Both cub scout and girl scout need parent participation, they are not drop off only. Both kids are social, extrovert, immature and not athletic. DS loves outdoor and has endless energy, so his summer camps are all outdoors with water time, rock climbing, ziplining etc. DD does a lot better at indoor summer camp with some art/craft/activities, and a few hours of outdoor time. I am still undecided to make a choice. If you were me, which one would you pick?

Thank you.[/quote]
