Boy scouts has so many great opportunities (I still get the Boys Life publication and see such cool projects and trips). Unfortunately it did not work out for us, as least through 3 sons. We got burned out with cubscouts and now my kids refuse to try scouts. I found each of the dens for cubscouts of my oldest 3 boys to be so incredibly annoying as the leader or assistant leader (not just the kids but the parents would do things like leave their kid with me for two extra hours after the meeting was over and be unreachable)...I know it has worked out for many people on this board, and that's great.
