I was actually hoping to get him involved in something he already likes - not push him into something that I HOPE he will like. I'm not against role playing, and may let him try it. But I remember being a kid, and realizing that the best feeling in the world was being able to talk to someone else about my interests, when most other kids didn't care about it. He's taking his first trip to space camp this summer, so that should help. But that's still four months away.
He tried boy scouts. Loved all the outdoor stuff, but the two troops we tried around here do very little of that. They have meetings, do team building activities, study folklore, etc. It was really a bit of a disappointment for him.
Starting a group may be fun. I have no clue how to go about doing it, but one can learn anything with google, right?
