I wonder - is membership in Boy Scouts dwindling, is this a response to that? I had a DS in Boy Scouts and 2 DDs in Girl Scouts; the Boy Scout program seemed much more regimented and ordered, the Girls one really depended on the leader.
The boy scouts lost a million members between 03 and 15 which was about 1/3 of its membership. Even when I was a scout, as kids started getting older, sometimes they'd just find other things they wanted to do. But I think that has gotten even more so now. Camping and the like itself has gotten less popular too. The Girl Scouts also lost about a million members over the same time period.
I was wondering this myself. I know a lot of families (including my family) that have stayed away from Boy Scouts due to the organization's attitudes and requirements over the years. We don't allow our sons to go to Boy Scouts or do activities sponsored by them, and I'm wondering if they've lost membership because of families like ours.
