A fact'o'life: all patrol boxes weigh a ton... thats why there are older scouts

I know that my scoutmaster wouldn't even let his son (one of my best friends) even be a cubby for fear of him quiting. The reason I say that cub scouts are "bad" is not that I am trying to be negative, its just that from what I have seen, and also from what I remember from my child hood, is that it takes some getting used to for the cub scout to get used to actually having to do things, and for the parents, if they go along as an adult leader, wich I recommend, to leave their scouts alone. But this is just what Ive noticed in my 4 years of being a boyscout.

But if you find a good pack/den then go for it as I know that scouting can be fun
