Reality here is there’s good folks everywhere, much like yourself. I remember being a tenderfoot working my way up in the early 60s. I stopped, did 4H for awhile then highschool came and then life.
The educational system is the same way as the scouts.. there’s some really good people there but these institutions have been infected but the lefts rot. Same with many religions and churches. Everything they touch they destroy.
The scouts like all these other infected institutions need to be eradicated and start over with strict vetting processes for normal people. You can’t fix something that broken... you need to start over.
Thank you. You reminded of the Churchill quote: “it has been said that democracy is the worst form of Government except all those other forms that have been tried from time to time”
I abandoned the public school system decades ago. It is beyond repair, at least until in loco parentis is removed.
I don’t believe it’s ready to abandon Scouting. It is a perfect program for young men and is time-tested. The rot at the top hasn’t fully infected the Troops.
I suspect that day will arrive. Earth is imperfect snd Heaven is paradise. Yet, every man and woman has a Line. It varies from individual to individual.
When Troops are filled with a cross-section of wokesters, leftist parents who want their sons to sleep in tents with girls, and gun and archery ranges are closed, I’ll see you on the dark side of the moon. We’re not there.
Yet.
Your mileage may vary.
