[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Baby stage is hard. The reward outweighs the temporary discomfort of life stages. When you age into your elder years you will understand the value of investing into your family. The issue is Americans lack family values. [/quote]

I have found this too. I am wondering what sort of mechanism would enable community and help reinforce family values, but is not a religious institution? I have honestly thought of joining one just for the community and values (give or take a few of 'em), but it doesn't feel right as we are not religious.[/quote]
I am religion adverse. We joined scouting. It has been great - a lot of character development, leadership, outdoor activities… We also volunteered as registered leaders and had a lot of influence on what they were doing. Kids made great friends. And have had a lot of great experiences. Both earned Eagle.
There is a duty to God in scouting. You cannot be an atheist, but all you need to do is believe in a higher power, so it doesn’t need to be an organized religion. Our higher power is Mother Nature. 
Be aware, each pack and troop is different. They all follow the same core program, but may implement differently. Example, some troops want scouts to put scouting above other activities like sports. Other troops are really flexible and happy to have them join activities whenever they can. Some focus on more challenging backpacking trips, others mix it up and might do a STEM trip one month, canoe the next, then visit Gettysburg. [/quote]
