As a parent of a former child on the stuffnot any more and it was ashoke to them when they found out he had not been on it for over 8 months I have to say it was the school here in Tn. that pushed for it and after a few month as I found out that alot of kids were on it at that school so not only are parents pushing it but teachers as well I was a boy scout leader and had 20 boys in my troop and 18 of them was on it .so what does that say ? that alot of boys who do cubscouts need it . I dont think so . Every one I spoke with had a tale that started with teachers . so some one needs to look at all the people who are involved .
