Scouting is designed to create leaders. Today’s youth needs the BSA more today than ever. Equally important is the participation of a parent with their scout in the troop/unit. Scouting molds today’s youth into tomorrow’s productive citizens. A parent will spend quality time with their child camping, enjoying the outdoors, and exposing these kids to opportunities to plan, think, organize, and execute their role as a team member or leader which will be critical in their post high school education or job. I’ll take an Eagle Scout any day knowing what he/she had to do to earn that rank. Parents, you have no idea how important it is to actively participate in the organization with your child. You will not regret it.
Thanks so much for you comment, you are correct on all counts. It also means a lot to the Scout if the parent just attends the meeting and hangs out. It shows the Scout the parent cares. There is so much quality time that the parent and Scout have together in Scouting that you just can't get back. I am in awe each time I've witnessed a Scout make it to Eagle and remember when he joined the troop, the transformation is truly amazing.
Scouting has lost its moral compass, I hope they go bankrupt for going woke! The people who donated vast amounts of money and land would be appalled at what it's turned into. Trail Life is carrying on the old scouting tradition of shaping boys into morally straight and mentally awake young men, and the same thing with young girls into young women who are patriotic leaders. Scouting America has decayed to where I will not have my son be a part of it. It's tragic that something that was such a large part of my youth and shaping me in leadership, go the way it has.
