Boy Scouts is supposed to be boy led, so it does tend to be very disorganized. They tend to not want women to help out, really just the dads.
Our troop is pretty disorganized too but my 7th grader has made the most of it. He is a Life Scout (just below Eagle) and just completed all 21 of the required badges for Eagle Scout. He is starting to talk to a science museum about doing his Eagle project there.
My younger son (5th grade) joined our Boy Scout troop early. He already has 10 badges and is going to summer camp this summer.
