The old Boy Scouts represented everything that the statists hated.
I have three boys in this age bracket now and have decided to steer them away from the Scouts, mostly because of what was forced upon them.
The current macro policy is to deter people who should go into the organization, and attract the worse people for it. Not everywhere of course. But many places are declining badly.
No thanks.
