What kind of groups would you be willing to run
if your kid was involved? Would you coach a sports team? Be a Girl Scout/Boy Scout leader?
Which groups would you be willing to help with?
Which groups would you be unwilling (either due to disliking the organization or because you would be a bumbling mess) to help out with?

Re: What kind of groups would you be willing to run
Since I'm allergic to sports I'd say those are out.
I would help out with any of the arts/music.
I could see myself helping with sports or a club as an assistant or if they were really desperate. Or I would volunteer to help with baking or hosting certain events but not everything.
I think I would prefer not to be involved if they didn't need extra help. As a child my mom was my softball coach for years and the leader of the local Pony Club chapter and not to be a brat but it was very difficult. Sometimes I just wanted her to be my mom and it caused issues.
I would help out with a sports team. I'd probably help out with Cub Scouts or Boy Scouts, but I had such a bad experience with Girl Scouts I'm a little sour on scouting.
I would not get too involved in anything related to art or music because I am no good at either.
None. I'm lazy.
On second thought, perhaps the Future Maids and Butler's Society - I like being waited on.
Boy Scouts in a big no for me. And my kids will not be joining boy scouts anyway.
I'm not all that much for sports, and I wouldn't want to coach a team my kid was on. In fact, I don't think they should let parents coach the team their kid is on anyway.
I wonder what soccer mom is up to these days.
I would probabably run a TV enthusiasts group or a 'future taste-testers of America' group or something like that.

I wouldn't be a very good coach for sports, unless we're talking about 3 year olds playing soccer. That doesn't require any sort of skill or organization, so I could totally do that.
I would be on board with being a leader for a group like Girl Scouts or Campfire. I don't really know much about 4H, but I'd be willing to do that too.
I think the only group I wouldn't be willing to help with would be Boy Scouts. If my kid wanted to join, I don't think I would say no but I would try to steer them to a different, more inclusive group.

I concur. This caused some may-jah dramas on my cousin's hockey team. It got so bad there were a half dozen parents that were banned for life from even setting foot in the ice arena!
And this is in northern Minnesota where kids learn to skate before they can even walk.
I'd be down with helping or maybe leading for girl scouts or whatever similar group that encourages resourcefulness and respect and outdoor activities. if she took to music i would be involved with her band or choir or whatever too.
probably not a high octane sport like soccer because i am allergic to soccer and would surely make their team lose (i would still be supportive though, just not attempt to lead them). but i would help with a softball/tball team.
honestly i think i'll be involved in some way in whatever comes along as her interests. i will take a back seat and just cheer her on if it is something i have no skills or knowledge of.

The girl scouts are a pro-abortion feminist training corps, so I'd be down with being a scout mom. My kids will also no be joining the boy scouts.
I wouldn't want to coach sports, but I'd be willing to help with most things. I'm pretty lazy though. Hopefully my kid is on the artistic side.
The nerve!

We are not going to put Ryker into any team sports.
I don't know if it is like this everywhere else, but here there are practices very frequently throughout the week and games every weekend, even for little kids. That's insane. And it is so ultracompetitive and I hate that mindset. We travel too much to have that type of schedule.
I would be happy to be involved in Scouts or arts/music programs.
We're both crazy into sports and crazy into arts, so I really wouldn't mind helping out in any area that I was knowledgeable in. I'd love to do community theater or art type stuff. I would probably not coach a sports team just because I am too competitive. I don't think it would be wise.
You know, now that I think about it I *did* lead a girl scouts group, kind of. I was a camp counselor for them anyhow and yeah, there was zero anti-gay or non-inclusive component to that whatsoever then.
We are going to try to not overschedule our kids. So probably one activity per kid per season, excluding music lessons and Sunday school.
I won't be a good sports coach, but Mike will.
totally. I cannot believe how overscheduled some kids are. We want to have a life too.

Was her name Paris Gellar?
I'd love to be a Girl Scouts leader, even now. I had the greatest time in GS.
I bet her FUPA's name is Shane, like the gunslinger/drifter of literature.--HappyTummy
I am pretty far away from having kids so really far away from any group activities but I would pretty much do whatever is needed of me. I wouldn't coach cause why I love sports I can't play them myself.
I already am a youth group leader at Synagogue but that would be the one thing I wouldn't do with my own kid. My own youth group experience was so amazing and I want my kid to have it be the same way.
I will probably coach soccer.
I would run or help with other groups. Of course, I will subliminally brainwash them with the feminist gay agenda in the process. I like telling people what to do and making them submit to my authoritah!
