That is true. We are also involved with Cub Scouts, and we plan to start him in a martial arts class (he and Dad--as soon as my broken toe heals). He has several homeschooling playgroups, and is involved at church.

Just like with public schooling, the parents MUST be involved with their childrens' education and lives.

Isn't Cub Scouts a great program? We've really enjoyed it. A little un-asked-for advice on the martial arts program:

Shop around. We had originally planned on a Karate place near our home, but asked around, and decided on the less-convenient TKD place. We found that most of the places would give the kid a free lesson so he could try it out, and they all offered a short-term introductory schedule/price. FWIW, my wife is taking TKD with him, so it's become a family activity. Also, be prepared to shell out a few bucks. None of the places we looked at were cheap.
