Key is past tense. Today's scouting organization is not the same one that produced so many high quality young men of years gone by.

I have sons spanning a lot of years - the oldest is nearing 30 and the youngest is 8. I was all in on having the boys be scouts when the oldest was younger, but saw the shifting away from true scouting values. I didn't even have my youngest two boys in cub scouts.

There are better organizations out there today that teach the values scouting used to teach.

Seriously, what organizations?

And, Scouting in the Houston metro is far stronger than in LA as far as membership and support.

Yeah? frickin' name one. Just one. No shite, really. I'm not being smarmy here. Name one youth organization that teaches this....

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. 

That's their frickin' motto man. Has been for decades, still is.

Who the frick teaches that to kids nowadays and don't tell me the scouts don't still teach that shite because I here them teach it every single week.

So if not the Scouts, who?

Cough it up.
