Cool kids, no[/quote]

I disagree. there are about a 1/3 who are cool   No one runs around saying what rank they are as school , for sure

My boys are scouts .  It’s not boy scouts any more btw .  We all like it a lot [/quote]

I guess it matters how you define cool kids.  If you mean kids who are the male equivalent of judgmental queen bees or the ones at keg parties on the weekend, probably not.  But our troop has boys on JV sports teams, boys on travel sports team, boys with girlfriends, boys who play in cool bands, etc.  Theh do tend athletic because most of them will do the high adventure summer camps.  This summer my son is doing a 65 mile backpacking trip with massive elevation climbs — personally, I could not do it.  
I’ve said before on this forum that if you’re the kind of person who worries a lot about whether your kid is hanging out with the cool kids, scouts is probably not the right vibe for you.  If your kid is secure enough on their sense of self that they can be friendly with all types of people: that’s a different thing.[/quote]
