Anyone involved in boy scouts?

You guys are selling children short. I work with children everyday and they are capable of so much more than most adults give them credit for.

I'm involved with the Cubs with my son and he started as a Tiger last year and he and his den had no problem knocking out the objectives in his Tiger book. There is a Scout Handbook for each level and is geared accordingly. I assume your son will be in your Tiger Den so he will need a Tiger Handbook, if your Pack doesn't provide it go to the local Scout store and pick one up. There should also be available for you from the Pack a "Cub Scout Den and Pack Meeting and Resource Guide" which is a meeting by meeting plan from Tiger to Webloes for activities to get them through their requirements.

Set reasonable expectations for them and remember your not teaching children, they already know how to be children, your teaching growing adults so keep them challenged and see how they grow.

I'm with this guy. :beer:
 
I'm a Den Leader and am in my third year now. I absolutely LOVE it. My boys are just so much fun. It's a lot of hard work. I won't lie to you. But the rewards are amazing. I plan my meetings out a pretty good distance in advance. I do that to make sure that we have everything ready and can just go at our pace and get things done. Have fun with it. Enjoy your time with them. And the hardest thing to remember is that the boys who act out, might be the boys that need to be there the most. We have one who acts out constantly but he doesn't have a very good family life. If you have any questions, just let me know. I'll be happy to help any way I can.
