You will get the full spectrum of athletic ability in any troop, but there are plenty of kids that balance sports, school, Scouts and other activities.
Not everyone will find enjoyment out of it, but there is plenty of good that comes from a program like Scouts.

In our house, our family, we have three base rules if you want to drive:
1) Play a musical instrument (good for math and a regret I have because I only play the radio.
2) You have to play a sport. I coach football, baseball, wrestling, and hockey, and I know the value that sport brings to a young person.
3) You have to become an Eagle scout. Simply put, it's a wonderful program, teaches life skills, teaches a kid to stick with something year-round from elementary school through high school. And ord know it pays off later with scholarships and smart people liking to see it on a resume.
Every family has their rules, those are our big three, and so far they seem to be working well.
God bless scouting...
