Those skills and structures can just as easily act in opposition to the parents’ values as in support of them. Witness the abominations known as public schools.

I wouldn’t trust the influence of ANY organization on my children. An organization has no vested interest in the outcome.

I don’t disagree that they certainly can act in oppostion, we are in full agreement there.

I will say, though, in my experiences in the Boy Scouts and some other external organizations such as CYO which had a dramatic and lasting impact on me, I never had the impression they had anything less than a vested interest in the outcome of helping me develop values and reach adulthood.

I think where we disagree is the use of the word “ANY” in your post.
