T-Bot, I don't know. I'm 43, and I didn't belong to the scouts. At the time I was growing up, all of the available scout troops were populated by the children of good old boys, and the common "initiation" into the scouts was being forced to smoke rabbit tobacco. I declined.
Now, having said that, I considered that all the kids who were scouts were some of the best students I had when I was a teacher. Therefore, if I had a kid (and I won't be having any), I'd leave it up to him/her. I wouldn't bring it up, but if he/she wanted to join, I'd help out all I could.
