[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What I don't like about these groups are it appears to be organized yet they aren't. Makes me wonder if you can just get a group of friends together and do those things with them. Have you been able to establish some friendships that goes beyond meeting at cub scouts? If so, you can focus on those friendships. And I know some people definitely need cub scouts to do whatever. To me, so much can be done and organized the way you want if you just tap into your creative side and inner nature-that is if the other parents think the way you do. And some parents do.

My husband is a den leader and I can tell you with all certainty that the leaders put an enormous amount of time into organization and planning, especially at the lower cub scout level.

Unfortunately, managing a large group of kindergarten through third grade boys in an inside activity in the eveneing after they have spent most of their day inside, quiet, still, and trying very hard to behave like compliant well behaved girls is an almost impossible feat.  It is similar to taking a dozen 8-12 week old puppies, putting them unleashed into a small space, and expecting them to sit quietly at attention and listen to every command, all while not touching one another, wrestling, jumping or playing.

Not gonna happen no matter who is leading the group.
