[quote=Anonymous]In my experience, Cub Scouts is a lot more hands on for the parents than Boy Scouts is. By the time the kids are in Boy Scouts, the older boys are planning/leading activities and the adult leaders are there mostly for supervising purposes. During Cub Scouts, parents would accompany their kids on camp outs, hikes, etc. In Boy Scouts, the boys typically go on camp outs/hikes with a few leaders. The boys get the opportunity to learn new skills and badges and the older boys get the opportunity to assume leadership roles, earn badges and show the younger kids the ropes - like how to plan/prepare dinner on a campfire or camp stove. At least that is how it all worked when my kids were involved in scouting. If your son is interested in joining, you should attend a meeting with him and get more information. [/quote]
