It depends on the society and its dynamics. Astro societies tend to be dominated by men older than that kid's dad who discuss things way over his head. You need a place with a youth section and/or beginner classes.

FWIW my intro was via a book I got when I was 12. The astro club, which had a vibrant youth section, and the scope came later.
