Are the Boy Scouts still relevant and worthwhile today?

This is an article from the November edition of Psychology Today addressing whether Boy Scouts are still relevant in today’s society.

“During the past decade, much has happened in scouting. They now accept girls as well as boys, they allow gay participants and leaders, sexual abuse scandals in scouting have made headline news, and some large groups (e.g., Mormons) have pulled out of scouting involvement altogether. Parents may wonder if scouting is still relevant and a worthwhile activity for youth.”

As the mother of a scout, I was happily surprised by the article’s conclusions.

Here are a few famous boy scouts:

Neil Armstrong
Michael Bloomberg
George Bush
Bill Gates
Ross Perot
Mike Rowe
Harrison Ford
Martin Luther King
John F Kennedy
Nolan Ryan
