Male involvement in Cub Scouting

I am a male adult leader in a Troop with Female Leaders who do attend camping trips. I have
no problem with female leadership in Boy Scouts.

The real problem is the lack of male involvement with children of elementary school age.

Most elementary schools have few if any Male Teachers. The Cub Scout Den Leaders are
typically female. Many young men have no father at home. The only exposure some young
boys have to men, is participating in an athletic sport.

I have attended many elementary school field trips and participated in numerous
school acticities in grade k thru 6. The children always remember me because some
rarely interact with an adult male.

Lets remember we are Fathers from the time our children are born and they need us at all
stages of life.

Yours in Scouting
