My son is in 7th grade and loves scouting...the boys refer to it as the secret society..lol...they love it but dont talk about it in junior high...you get picked on mercilessly...same goes for my daughter who is still in girl scouts and is a freshman. It's sad that it is like this...the wonderful things the kids have done,they have received proclamations from the mayor for thier community service, yet wont discuss it at school. I am greatful that they didnt go with the peer pressure and quit like many of thier friends did, they are sticking it out and they both are glad they did...they love it!

Hello - I'm here... & very involved as an adult leader

LOL Beetle, when I dug this out from the OLD files, it was because you had reminded me that you were.

Any news to share with us?

Please say hi to the missus...

Hi Missus

"Chuckling" - let me go back to work, took a "mental sanity" break while my boss went out to the post office. Should be back soon.

That is our Beetle - bring "chuckles" our way and KING of the forum as usual.

Boy Scouts can be family in some ways, does infringe on family time with all the scout only meetings and trips. There is also a leadership component that the Scout Master oversees. The male thing can happen, but if you are a mom, don't let men push you into handling the paperwork in the background while they go with the boys. BSA allows women to be Scout Masters and Assistant Scout Masters, and to camp and travel with Boy Scouts. You will need to fulfill all the training requirements. I stuck in there in my sons male oriented troop and I am now the Adviser of our co-ed Venture Crew in addition to being an Assistant Scout Master. You do not have to give up being feminine, but do need to be professional at all times.
