Scouts can frick right off
That is an a-hole statement right there. Child molesters that infiltrated the Scouts can frick right off but BSA is a great organization that may be more needed now than at any time in its history.
We have lost the skills that Scouting teaches. When an out of the ordinary circumstance arises, playing video games and using social media won't help. You know what does? Being able to make a fire, cook something you kill and design a shelter. All things that Scouting teaches. I was blown away after Katrina when men I knew didn't know how to start a fire outside. If that storm taught me anything, it is that we are all five minutes away from society breaking down.
If that ever happens on a wide scale, standing on a raised interstate and waving to a government helicopter won't be an option. People need to be able to fend for themselves.

I don't disagree with that, but here is what I tell people about what I really learned in scouting:
I learned how to be self-reliant and self-motivated through the earning of ranks & merit badges. I learned how to set goals, form a plan, execute the plan, and earn it.
Learned some valuable shite at that age regarding personal finance, local/national/international citizenship, I learned how to deal with sudden unexpected emergencies through lifesaving merit badge, BSA lifeguard, CPR, first aid etc.
That put me ahead of 90% of the local dipshits at my age and most people I meet as an adult.
