1dalmYou should consider putting your kid in Scouts
nadramIt’s a religious entity. I spent 10 years there as a child and just drowned out the world to get past the religious bits of it. Will never encourage my kids to join. I’ll give them the joy and knowledge of the great outdoors without the scouts.
I really recommend you actually read some of the requirements.
The Scouts are very, I would say, “classically conservative”, meaning they lean very heavy on traditional conservative values, like helping others and being an active member of a community. Yes it’s very patriotic, but it’s patriotic from a position of service to your community and participation in you local democracy. I honestly can’t think of anything “fascist” at all. (The fact that MAGA hates the boy scouts should be evidence enough of this.)
