Scouting helps boys be boys and in many respects is an equalizer. It's not a big deal if a kid is rich or poor, they all basically do the same things. It also helps those kids with no activity to do something. For us, with our kids active in so much it can be a pain, but for some boys, it's the only activity they receive. I admire our good scouting leaders and know they are doing something to help our youth.

"My son doesn't like being outside, doesn't like nature, doesn't like being put in new situations, doesn't like socializing with his peers, so we think it is best for him to not be in scouting."
How can I argue with that? |

Our new Ensign arrived yesterday. I saw that one of the main articles is a call for parents to help their sons earn the DTG award. There is also an article about DTG and Scouting working together. I haven't read either article, but I thought it was funny. Almost like they were reading our thread.

Why dont' we have adult DTG awards? I mean, if awards are so important, why stop when you are a kid? Home teaching, temple, tithing, etc. Recognize them once a year on the stand as the go-to guys. Give them a little trinket.
