Boy Scouts and Girl Scouts of America are worthwhile clubs for children.  The younger boys start off as cub scouts and can then move on to Boy Scouts.  The younger girls start off as Daisys and Brownies and  can then move on to Girl Scouts.  Besides learning social skills and group interaction skills, many outdoor and practical skills are learned in these clubs.  Outdoor camping is also a skill set that is learned.  In addition many fun activities such as museum visits, going to plays, crafts, and pinewood derbies are done in these great clubs.  Check them out.
