My son (7, diagnosed with ASD) is a Cub Scout (and my daughter, 11, is a Girl Scout). Overall, I think it's a great program. Our local pack doesn't push the religious aspect at all - it would be much more of a problem for us if they did. It has been a really nice opportunity for him to spend more time with his dad, and he's been able to develop some skills that would otherwise probably have languished (#3 popcorn seller in the pack!).
