I was in cub/boy scouts from ages maybe 10 all the way up aging out at 18. It was mostly about being homophobic, knives, and fire aka the three pillars of young white boys in the 90’s. I couldn’t be happier at how they’ve been trying to turn things around these past 10 years.
Also, Fed involvement with the Scouts is minimal. Apparently they provide logistical support at Nat’l Jamboree (not that I ever saw) and give tours of bases and stuff (not that I ever saw). So this seems, at best, performative.
