I don't know a ton about scouts, but they've always felt like literal military preparation cults to me.
Having experienced both environments they are nothing like each other at all
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
Not really... they teach you how to be a decent human within a community
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.
