      I don’t know a ton about scouts, but they’ve always felt like literal military preparation cults to me.

          But the roots of scouting come from the military. Lord Baden-Powell called them scouts at they were literally using training for military scouts as a basis for their organization. It is definitely different but it is based from a military mindset

        You’ve never been in the Scouts. It’s community building and becoming a better, more able person through skill development and mentoring. When it works.
