[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Because it is totally dorky.  I am so grateful neither if my kids wanted to do boy or Girl Scouts.  I was a brownie -fun.  Then a Girl Scout. That fun lasted about 2 years, maybe. Yuck. All that conformity and having to do what everyone else is doing, hideous uncomfortable uniforms, such middle America values.

There are so any other activities for building the skills scouting purports to focus on: sports teams for leadership and working with others, sleep away camp for outdoorsy skills, music and art lessons for the arts, etc...  Scouting just seems so outdated and, well, honestly, middle America in that negative, bland, boring, conformist, uninspired, way.[/quote]

Really, like what? What if your kid is at a giant school where she isn't good enough to play group sports? Why do you deride it so? I wish we still had our troop. Ours broke up at 6th grade and I really am kinda mad that we were never told that this was about to happen or maybe we could have trained to become leaders and taken it over ourselves.[/quote]
