We've been involved for about 10 years (geez) with our Pack and Troop. Fortunately, there are lots of options here. Finding a good fit is important, preferably with school buddies. Try to make it the antithesis of class work. Quick read (if any) then go
do something fun.
Lots of positives, not just for your kids but for your whole family. Most of the folks we've met through Scouting have been top notch. Get involved and you'll have 10-15 years of fun ahead of you. Many more if you choose to stick with it.
There can be ego issues but remember to put the kids first and the rest will work out. Teaching the boys to stay positive and work together is critical. Setting the example can be tough, but it's a necessity.
Standing on Mt. Baldy with your boys is an experience like no other. Wouldn't trade it for the world.
