[QUOTE="Andy, post: 188462, member: 5096"] My difficult child was is cub scouts from tigers. I go to every meeting and give him the choice of going to a pack meeting or going to a church kid's club meeting. I made it clear that he would not be doing an overnight unless I could get husband to go. We do not do out of town activities unless I am available to attend. We also did not follow the program - we only joined for the activities (actually difficult child only wanted to attend the day camps that had BB guns, archery, and slingshots). We did not go out of our way to meet the criteria of the badges. We are not going on to Boy Scouts - I told them that we are not into the wall climbings, camping, white water rafting - things that are suppose to intice the boys into joining. It was a good experience for my difficult child. He was able to do many things he may not have otherwise done. Day camp taught us safety protocol of the BB guns and Archery. With this knowledge, difficult child's 8th birthday was a event with the boys each having a turn at the bb gun and archery and a 4 wheel ride. We set up each event as it would have been for boy scouts - one at a time, others way back, ect. Boy Scouts does encourage a large variety of activities. Lots to learn plus time to make friends. Good luck! [/QUOTE]
