Don't be too negative. All scouting on the local level is run by volunteers. Mostly parents. They are only as good as their dedication and training.

I started out with 7 youth in my wolf den. I had 9 out of 11 crossover from Webelos to Scouts. Of the original 7 that started out as Wolf together, 4 achieved Eagle. They had their ceremony together.

Cub scouts is a great stepping stone. I would encourage any parent to put their sons in the program. I would also encourage them to be involved as well. BSA is not Baby Sitters of America. Involved parents keep the boys involved.

I will get off my soapbox now.
