You know, this is a great point. I don't...really have an answer for this...

I would need to talk to one of these kids and ask them why they are on the team at all to figure out what I need to appeal to. I'll try this tonight if I can get my mentor off my back long enough (I've got loads of software to re-write and we're taking a fix-it tonight, so I need to get to work ) so I can talk to some of these kids.

I do want to say that I am not trying to ridicule scouts. I know that many are forced to do their job (and that's partially why I created this thread) and that it isn't much fun for some. I try to help out scouts. But one of the points I want to make is that a 1-5 form is pretty much strategically useless, IMHO, and the other point is that without a little bit of education, a scout can be misled by a team's responses--not something the head of strategy wants when choosing someone to pick.

PS: I'll post back if I get a glimpse into the heads of the not-so-eager scouts tonight.
