[quote=Anonymous]My son is in 5th grade and we've done scouts since he was in K. I am in it for the outdoor experience and the life skills. He and his den planned the majority of our camping trip last weekend - food, making fires, cooking over the fires, coming up with a campfire skit they all agreed on, emceeing the evening program for the younger scouts, cleaning up the camp site. It was amazing. It's been a really, really great experience for him. As a practicing Quaker with many LGBTQ friends and family, do I love the historical baggage and the "hero"/military aspect? No. No I do not. I REALLY wish there were a strong outdoor school or program in the DC area, like Living Earth in Charlottesville. Honestly, I don't understand why there isn't. But there isn't, and so we are stuck with the scouts.[/quote]
