My son (who just graduated high school this year) would have become a very different man if not for the Cub Scout and Boy Scout programs. He didn't make Eagle, but he did learn all the important stuff and that's what made it worthwhile.
I helped start a new Pack when he decided he wanted to join. I've spent the last 12 years as an adult leader in the BSA and have found the experience to be rewarding for many young men (and me as well).
If your son goes in as a Tiger Cub, please don't make any "stay/go" decisions while a Tiger Cub. The Tiger program is very "loose" and doesn't have a lot of depth. Stick through at least him being a Wolf or Bear Scout.
