[quote=Anonymous]Both of my sons earned Eagle Scout (2022 & 2024). Scouts is definitely not as popular as it was 30+ years ago. Downturn was combination of rise in travel sports and the abuse scandal. My sons managed to do both sports and scouts - it is a juggling act. And my husband and I volunteered as leaders so we could be at most campouts and get a feeling for the other adult volunteers. I think they got more from scouting than sports. It emphasized lessons we also taught at home - service to our community and life skills ranging from cooking to finance. They met a lot of different kids through scouts. The scouts that were in their troop ranged from athletic kids (baseball, football, wrestling, soccer, swimming, etc) to kids that do chess and robotics and D&D. [/quote]
