I would agree that most scout leaders would be those with sons in the program. However, I think of all the evil that the left has done to the nation over the past decades, making us "suspicious of adult males who position themselves to be around children" is among the most dangerous evils. Children need loving people around them, both male and female. I believe children are among the greatest gifts of God. I love being around them because of the way they help us to re-open our eyes to the wonders of the world that we so often miss once we grow up and become cynical about so much.
We have many children in the neighborhood that it has been my great joy to see grow up over the years. When my wife passed, several stopped by to offer sympathy because they loved her as she loved them. It is sad that we've allowed the leftists and media convince us that men are predators, when in fact, the great majority of us are just folk who love the future generations that we see and know around us, and would do anything to protect them if need be.
“It is sad that we’ve allowed the leftists and media convince us that men are predators,”
Leftists and the media will never convince me of anything. I am basing what I said on what I’ve seen. It is, admittedly, only my opinion, but men who want to be, for example elementary school teachers or, as I have seen, pediatric nurses, are suspect. Most men would not do that. How many men are elementary school teachers? Why do you think that is? I am not saying that all men who are in these positions are pedophiles, but it makes me suspicious.
