[quote=Anonymous]Love scouts. DS is also a Varsity athlete but he lives the outdoors. Troop goes hiking, camping kayaking, mountain biking, etc once a month. It encourages service to others and mandates volunteer hours. It also mandates leadership and problem solving, working with others in a way sports do not. You do get quite a few challenging kids and need to learn to support and mentor them. I loved the merit badge system. DS had to contact and meet with adults with expertise in various areas. He used it to look at future careers - architecture, environmental sciences, aviation, engineering, and game design. I find a mix of kids, we are near a military base and many of the Troop are the opposite what I would consider dorky.[/quote]
