And listen to your kid if they say it’s not what it looks like. My troop looked totally fine if you asked the Scoutmaster. It turns out it was just his kid and his kid’s best friends who were all assholes. I got beaten up at least once, and eventually got kicked out because I pulled my knife on the Scoutmaster’s kid, because he had pulled his knife first, and literally backed me up against a cliff with it. Dude was a psycho and eventually joined the Army during the big 2009 push (what a shock).
Mom insisted I go every week, it’s not that bad, etc, and then literally had the stones to tell me “you should’ve said something” when I got thrown out.
yeah, i was in a troop with an awesome scoutmaster. who died. the next scoutmaster was okay but he moved. the one after that was an Uncle Touchy that i managed to avoid. my parents refused believe me when i told them there was something going on but they like burying their heads in the sand (they cultists).
vet the troop carefully, but yeah, it’s a good organization.
