Boy Scout Oath or Promise
On my honor, I will do my best
To do my duty to God and my country and to obey the Scout Law;
To help other people at all times;
To keep myself physically strong, mentally awake and morally straight.

"Scoutng" doesn't teach morality. Morality is innate. "Scouting" preps kids for war. Survival, camping, uniforms, oaths and flags.
Another day and age it was called the Hitler Youth.
Okay, now pounce.

I wonder what your thought is about the Girl Scouts?
Oh please, let's connect everything to hitler and the nazis.

If it bothers you, ignore it.
First rule of ATS is to keep your eye on the ball, not members. If you can't then you are the one trolling.
For me scouting was an adventure on the camping trips. I got to see things I never would have. Otherwise it was preconditioning of our young minds to more readily accept the military when we got a little older. I saw that then and I still see it today.
The world today is not the world we were 'preconditioned' to be prepared for? I didn't know scouting offered a sniper training merit badge…
(Those noble concepts) are then utilized to push them in a different direction, one that wages aggressive war instead of resisting it honorably. One that deceives the true intent of honor.
Why can't we take from our youth, noble concept- and force an application to todays elected former boy scouts?
