We all know who the Boy Scouts of America are. Or at least we think we know what they are. When was the last time you actually attended a meeting. For me it was with my little brothers, and it was forever ago. But I will admit we will be looking into Boy Scouts once Little Man gets big enough. There are a few simple reasons for this. Community and self respect, given the boy scouts history of community involvement and social interaction in a friendly nurturing environment that teaches children life skills and values.
The Cub Scouts start at age 7 or first grad right on through fifth grad or age 10. The cub scouts emphasis environment awareness as well as teamwork and manual dexterity. Next up is Boy Scouts, ages 11 through 17, the boy scouts help kids learn how to do things for themselves, be self reliant as well as how to prove themselves an integral member of a group. And now we have Venturers who are between the ages of 14 to 20. yes these are the older ‘kids’ but they get to do older ‘kid’ stuff, like rock climbing, white water rafting and zip line riding. Pretty cool if you ask me.
No matter what age your little guy is, little girls have the girl scouts, Boy Scouts is a nice way to socialize, individualize, and also give a bit more of those morals that seem to be slowly slipping away from our children day by day.

All of my brothers and most of my male cousins were in the Boy Scouts.
My son has been a Cub Scout since 1st grade. He went through Tigers, Wolves, Bears, and now he is a Webelos 1. I love Cub Scouts for him but now he has told me he doesn’t want to do it anymore. I am so bummed. This year and next year would be just the highlight of it all. But he is determined to be done. It makes me so sad.
