I'm sorry, but you're wrong here. I'm not saying that the scouts weren't benificial to you, but good parents are perfectly able to instill good values in their kids. In fact, a good parent should be able to do it better than any organization. I know my own parents did very well, and I was never in the scouts.
Well, you can't gain that self-reliance that one learns while being a member of a large group organization where all the children dress just alike and quote the same memorized speeches over and over again.
