Our local Scout troop closed in part, I'm told, because parents treated it more like a daycare for a few hours rather than something to be involved in and do WITH their kids. The troop felt they were no longer fulfilling their mission and decided to dissolve.
We weren't involved in the troop at all but I still found that news really disappointing. I'm a busy guy but I still try to make time for my kids.
A scout troop cannot exist without parent involvement. The national organization doesn't run them, each troop/pack is a self organizing group not only made up entirely of parent volunteers, but a rotating group as the children age out.
The fact that scouts has exists in this form for decades indicates this is a new problem.
Turns out Gen X and millennials are more disengaged than their boomer parents. At least in terms of the type of families who typically participate in scouts.
