Used to be the good kids could join the cubscount/brownies and boy scouts/girl scouts. My mother was the "den mother" for our cub scout troop when I was that age but once I got old enough for boy scouts there was no parental support since all the parents wanted to support their kids in sports, we managed to camp in a 4 h cabin once but that was it. I hope that when the time comes I'll be able to run/help run a BSa troop myself. My parents have a nice farm in WV where we could go camp and such, if your wanting your kids to do things like that try to find something you can get involved with. If there are no boy scouts, my church runs something similar so you may be able to find a group there.
