I was a Scoutmaster for almost 6 years and with a Troop for at least 10 years. My two boys are Eagle Scouts. It IS a great program.
However, IMHO, Scouting is not the "cool" thing it was many years ago. There are just so many other activities taking boys minds off Scouting. Right or wrong - some parents have been turned off by politically correct decisions - again, passing no judgement, just know that everyone comes down on the side of an issue and sometimes that caused parents to look elsewhere.
For our Troop - we rightly felt - it's all about the boys. You give them the tools, teach them the values of Scouting, let them take leadership and ownership of the Troop, let them camp, fish, hike and just have FUN - and with the exception of a few, most loved the experience and would do it again.
Kind of like a baby. At Christmas, seems like they are more interested in the box - vs the toy that it came-in. If you can get a kid into Scouting, they take to the outdoors and the activities like a duck to water - vs cell phone games.

One of us would sit on the left fender (away from the clutch) and other would sit on the gas tank and hold onto the crankcase breather pipe.
