But the Boy Scouts are good for kids, I just think you need to keep religion out of it, keep it focused on environment and the life skills for these young adults. I know I am a bit late on this.

In northern NJ, which today is a mess of highways and malls and townhouse developments, 40 or 50 years ago, you really only had to travel 30 minutes away from the city of Newark and you were in the woods. Now people move out to western NJ and live right in the middle of bear country and bitch and whine when a bear bothers them. They have no relationship with nature at all, in fact shun it. Hardly anyone does any camping anymore. I certainly don't because I refuse to use any sort of public toilet.

So instead of starting their enlisted career as an Airman basic with no stripes, eagle scouts got to sew some threads on their arm right off the bat. I guess Boy Scouts counted as a sort of pre-military military training. If they told people this in the first place maybe all that survival crap they make boy scouts do would make a lot of sense. It's funny because Boy Scouts is essentially the same thing other countries do when they recruit kids into the military, but we're just more subtle about it.
