When my kids were younger I was a scout master but they did not like scout they said it was not challenge so they joined the U.S. Naval sea cadet Corps and I have to say I think it is a better program it offered more for my kids like seal school, EOD and all types now it is not for all boys or girls seeing it is a military program

I participated in that when I was a Cadet. "Pioneering Committee" was a GREAT group of us who had a blast and so did our Scouts.
