My kid isn't in scouts. We're a very rural family and I'll teach him almost everything he can learn there without the long trip to town. There is definitely a place for scouts and I support the club but.... Teaching boys (and girls) how to do stuff for yourself is not what the powers-to-be want things. Who of them in their right mind would want to train a kid to be ok on their own in a bad situation? They need people to depend on the government. The scouts are getting shut down to maintain a rank of people who depend on the government.
I was never a scout but had friends who were. Congrats to those of you who who learned the ropes.
