Christine, I suppose the difference between boy scouts and girl scouts, and the quality of the experience in either group, is less a function of the leadership of the organization than the leadership of the particular troop or group involved. I'm sure there are great ones, good ones, crummy ones, and awful ones. I guess the only way is to have a good talk with the leaders before putting a kid in, and to attend some of the activities. Still think that informal outings with parents and friends are by far the best way of developing the skills that scouting is supposed to work on. Great way of building the parent/child relationship too. Steve

...activities like scouting, because they teach emotional rigidity, conformity and all sorts of militaristic values. Christine, BS. When I was in boy scouts the goal of the senior patrol was to get high. (I was never a member of the senior patrol!) I remember putting little sterno logs on forks and running through the forest pretending it to be a torch. Nothing like sneaking away for the weekend camp-out with Playboys and cigarettes. Sure we had leaders and meetings and rules and merit badges, but the main mission of the boys in the troop was to have fun. Tom
