The GS are learning a lot about working for goals, speaking with other people, and other activities that aid their development. I would rather see the kids participating in an organized activity that helps their development rather than seeing them bored, playing on street corners or getting into trouble. I know it pays off in the long run - we had some kids tipping over garbage cans after graduation last year and we were one of a few houses that wasn't hit. When they finally caught up with the culprits, they admitted they didn't tip the cans at houses that gave good Halloween candy or bought stuff from them.
