[Bobwhite Blather] To play, or not to play?

[Bobwhite Blather Scouting Blog]

Bobwhite Blather has posted a new item, 'To play, or not to play?'

Ready or not, summer is coming to a close, fall is rapidly approaching, and with
it the start of school. We're gearing up for our Join Scouting nights and Boy
Talks and enticing young people (and their parents) to join our packs with our
fun programs and cool activities.

There are also those who have had a year or two experience with Scouting and are
on the fence, deciding whether they'd like to continue on with more of the same
or branch off into other activities. It's always a shame to lose a Scout and his
family if  they have the impression that they'll see the year ahead as "been
there, done that" with the kinds of things they've done already rather than as a
progression into activities that build on what they've done and involve new
things they can do as they grow.

One reason for this reluctance is the preponderance of youth sports teams, whose
seasons are really anything but a continuum or progression.
