I thought I would mention something more before letting the subject go.
There are many of these boys who have no father or father interested in their lives. In our own troop , half are children of divorce and we seldom or never see fathers.
Many of the moms are unfamiliar with guns and view them with female concern.
Sometimes dads who do show up, we have to ask them to just not commment. They are so demanding of perfection in their boy and critical when the boy misses.
You disassemble a gun and they pay attention because they like the way things fit together and function.
Some of these boys have no good male role model in their lives. Drugs, alcohol, unsteadiness, little anger control.
Maybe think about it?
