[quote=Anonymous]I'm involved in scouts, and there is definitely a down turn in parents volunteering and showing up for planning meetings, etc. Lots of parents want their kids in scouting, but not enough people are stepping up to lead the troops or say "oh, I can't lead a troop, but I'll be the point person for this outing or plan a fall activity or ....". This stuff doesn't just magically happen, and those of us that started doing it pre-pandemic are aging out of the system. There's a bunch of people I know whose kids are in college who are still trying to help out because they don't want these opportunities to disappear entirely, but there will be an end to that. I'm a FT working mom with three kids so I do try to minimize all the bureaucratic crap to the extent possible for people, but we're still struggling. At some point we'll just end up with the pay-to-participate activities.[/quote]
