We have a number of boy scouts in the troop who are preoccupied with how negatively boy scouting is perceived by the "cooler" kids in school. We have trouble getting them to "buy into" scouting and they even seem reluctant to wear their uniforms. These are guys that really enjoy the outings and many of them have become star scouts before this problem surfaced, but they would probably deny being a scout if asked by one of their peers at school. Do other troops have similar problems and are there suggestions as to how to deal with this?
