Apologies - I reread your post, and maybe I misunderstood your point about single parents meeting likeminded single parents through Scouting.
When you mentioned dating, it sounded as if you were suggesting the BSA encourage a singles-dating culture in Scouting. But, you probably meant that Scouting is a way for parents to become friends. And that’s a valid point. Best of luck! And thanks for all you do.
Online dating is on the wane. Too many crazies and deceit. Scouting is a way for parents to get together with other parents with kids the same age to socialize a little.
I see it all the time. Not a lot of opportunities for these folks to meet face to face any more.
