[quote=Anonymous]OP yes it is challenging.  Think of the journey in three parts.  Focus on #1 first.  Also, the best thing you can do is learn the structure of scout troops (age 11+).  There is no den leader.  Not all merit badges are recommended to be done during middle school.  Plan to volunteer more, not less, than the other parents.  Support your kid, who might need more help than other kids.  Good luck!

1. skill building (knot tying, cooking, getting proficient putting up and taking down a tent, basic merit badges, packing for a campout, taking responsibility for washing your mess kit and being safe, asking for help to complete a goal)

2. self-management (goal setting, planning, time management, more advanced merit badges, leading small groups to complete goals in meetings or at campouts, helping younger scouts, communication and collaboration)

3. leadership (project management, advanced teamwork at high adventure campouts, complex communication, higher level service)
