the stuff like camping is what keep those over the age of 13 interested. you want kids to get leadership skills have them do real work. 50 years ago the girl scouts actualy baked the cookies that they sold and got a merit badge in the process. today they stand in front of a store and hawk over priced cookies for a corporation that actually makes more money from the deal then the girl scouts.. 4.99 for cookies that can be gotten for 2.00 dollar in the store they are standing in front of.
Now the organization pays its payroll with factory made branded cookies in ice cream.
