    As one who was in it. I hate it. They partner with the religious right to basically train kids to have toxic masculinity issues and further bring them into the church. I hate them.

    Socialist scouts would be very cool tho

      They were cool, afaik most of socialist countries in Europe did had such organizations, which were openly based on US boy scouts, like polish ZHP (still existing but being put into cathonational whirl and severly diminishing because capitalist taking over of childhood for the last 30 years).

      There’s also ZHR in Poland, which are just as you said catholic conservative boy scouts, but i did not seen any of them for a long time so idk maybe they dwindled already.

      And then, unfortunately, there was Hitlerjugend, which was based on the US boy scouts too, which shows how those organizations are generally successful in formatting the young generation, thankfully there aren’t much profits in this so they aren’t big in capitalism.
