[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Is Boy Scouts similar with this everyone needs to be involved and volunteer dynamic? I had been thinking about having DS join (2nd grade) but he has a Saturday activity and 3-4 activities during the week, so I’m not sure we’d be able to attend every BS event.

This is not to say OP’s situation is not unfair! I think she’s done more than her share. [/quote]

Yes, this probably varies by troop and might be different for older kids but my son did Boy Scouts in 1st and 2nd grade years ago and they wanted a parent to stay at every meeting for each kid. They also had weekend camp outs a lot where a parent had to stay with the child. He wanted to be a part of everything so we went but it gets too hard when you have other activities and other children as well.
  Though, I know now there is always a volunteer requirement once you get into the competitive levels of sports or dance even when you are paying a ton of money. 
When my girls did gymnastics we were required to complete 40 hours of volunteer work per season or they’d cash our deposit check. It was the same with swim and dance so now I’d expect to volunteer especially with a lower cost activity. [/quote]
