May have a job offer in Fort Collins soon. I could use a lot of family information:
Wife, 2 sons (15 and 13) - all flat landers. Wife grew up in Pittsburgh. Rest of us in Texas.
Oldest son plays classic level soccer and youngest is into Scouts and art.
Thanks!

Fort Collins does not offer spare families, you'll have to bring your own. 
Its a pretty family friendly city, although you may find the living expenses a bit high. Check surrounding communities for options. Fort Collins is a college town, and while that provides some amenities, it means that housing can be priced a bit higher due to the competition with transient students living on parents' dime, college professors driving up costs etc.
Nearby communities include Greeley ( you probably don't want to live there or at least will want to be careful which neighborhoods you end up in ), Loveland, farther away is Longmont. And there are several other smaller communities in between and around. Check out a map.

There are several good Scouting Troops, my sons completed through Webelo and decided not to go on. My co-worker and another friend have sons still active.
