<p>I did not take him to cub scout when he was young because hardly any Chinese did scouting. He found it out himself when cub scout did information meeting in school and he insisted to go. So, I gave in and let him try the last year of cub scout and let him bridge to boy scout at 5th grade. </p>
<p>we don’t have enough time for everything he is doing now. we have to cut things. youth orchestral has weekly practices. If we miss more than 2 practices, he can’t do the concerts. He is new to boy scout so he is still in the mood for most of activities. That’s why I don’t want to sign him up for orchestral to save the weekends for boy scout for now. He wants to get his ranks with all his peers. and he gets frustrated when he did not see them often. so, I am waiting for his fever for boy scouts to calm down.</p>
<p>Plus, we think Engle scout may give him more benefits in college admission than in youth orchestra if he can’t get both into his resume. violin and orchestral are very time consuming and he is just an average player, nothing standing out.</p>
<p>We even do not know how to fit in his new fencing class and what about voice/choir choices.</p>
