[quote=Anonymous]The appeal of BSA programs to girls and boys is primarily the opportunity to have fun with peers from a variety of schools and backgrounds.  It is a way for younger kids to have a chance to regularly interact with kids as much as 4 or 5 years older when being taught Scout skills.  This is intended to provide older youths as role models.  At the Scouts BSA ages (11 to 17) and at the fully-Co-ed venturers/Explorers/Sea Scout ages (14 - 20) a very robust outdoor program is always a big attraction.  These units typically have outings at least 8 - 10 times a year, including a longer-term outdoor experience in the summer.  A great aspect tp the long-term camping experience is that the entire unit attends together, providing years of friendship binding experiences.  Finally, the chance to progress up the iconic BSA rank system is always an appeal.  For parents, one appeal can be the low cost.  Compared to travel teams, regular lessons and the like, BSA is a comparative bargain.[/quote]
