Boy Scouts already have a high attrition rate that we leaders have to battle every day, and it comes down to two words - Gas & Girls.


Funny - I've not herd that in a long time, but it sure rang true when I was in Scouts. It seems the gas is less of an issue than it use to be as this generation has less desire to drive than we did.

In our area, the really big issue is sports. A lot of the coaches are a lot less "understanding" than they use to be. Its 100% their sport or nothing.

I don't see this changing much. Just because you can join - doesn't mean you want to join. The article I read also mentioned "one stop drop off" for the parents. Those are the kids that will not last long.
