[quote=Anonymous]My kid is16 and in Boy Scouts. IME the boys who dropped it as too nerdy in ES are guys who are kind of jerks. They are the ones that drink a lot in HS and are the boy equivalent of mean girls. There’s lots of not nerdy boys still in the troop including boys who are varsity athletes, boys who are into film, boys who play guitar in rock bands, boys with girlfriends , etc. But they are all boys who mostly are not worried about categorizing boys into cool or not cool buckets. If a kid is really worried about those categories, scouts is not going to be a good fit because it is by definition inclusive of everyone, including the nerds. PS in today’s HS world, there is such a thing as cool nerds. Being yourself and not giving a F about what other people thing is much more respected than it was back in the 80s/. [/quote]
