This why I give to the boy scouts, directly.
The same thing as I was thinking. I focused on teaching my children (boys and girls) a dozen specific virtues: “trustworthy, loyal, helpful, friendly, courteous, kind, obedient, cheerful, thrifty, brave, clean, and reverent”. That is not the sum of all positive virtues, but it’s an excellent start. Chastity, self-reliance, patriotism, shame, and godliness all follow from seeing their parents and others live the Scout Law on a daily basis. Why would a child seek out shallow sexual encounters to create a momentary feeling of self-worth or of being loved, when those feelings are an ongoing norm in their lives? Why would a child choose dependence on others, when they have learned thrift, bravery, and in general to be prepared their whole lives? As for patriotism, until the past four years, the United States of America was exceptional in embodying the Scout Law and individual freedom and virtue in the structure of the country itself. And one cannot live in a family where trustworthiness, loyalty, obedience, bravery, and reverence are expected without understanding and being susceptible to shame when falling short of those virtues. BSA is one of the best paths to these virtues, which is why it is under relentless attack from the far left.
Looks like the end of the Boy Scouts might happen soon
