“Scouting used to be for good sorta geeky guys.”
Many of the boys in my sons’ troops were muy macho.
My sons certainly were.
My boys began at age 13. All three were computer literate and somewhat athletic, but to look at them none of them would strike anyone as macho. However, by the time they had completed Eagle they were good, morally strong and confidant young men.
We had one rule - we did not allow our boys to get their driver's license until they had completed Eagle. And it worked like a charm.
