The Scouts is a horrible organization. They ruined something sacred about the skills it teaches and it doesn't even live up to its own codes.
-The Scouts are pre-masonic, pre-military early recruitment, but they don't tell it's regular members and boys. It's used to filter boys into trades or leadership and weed out the noncompliant boys.
-A number of lodges, I'm not sure the extent, have many members who are also active in white nationalist/supremacy groups and are used in parallel with recruitment. (something i'm sure some pol members will be happy to hear)
-The scouts is designed not to make independent thinkers, but to make leaders that can be controlled and obedient followers, and to promote the agendas of hierarchy, politics, and statism.
-The scouts has many inner circles controlled by ever higher levels of nepotism and cronyism, hiding secrets from lower circle members.
-The scouts have internal control and punishment systems including shaming, hazing, and blacklisting.
-They push religion on their members, and atheists and agnostics are shunned and or are forced to attend denominational ceremonies.
-They claim to be Trustworthy, and they are in that they spend all their time keeping secrets, but how trustworthy is a spy?
-They are only Loyal in as far as you do what they say.
-1/2 of the leaders are obese, smoker, coffee addicts.
-After all that though, letting woman in is a step in the right direction, maybe they could learn a little something about equality.
