I feel like a whole generation of kids are missing out on positive male role models.

Step up, and pass on the good vibes and knowledge

    This stuff is why I want to get back into the scouts as an adult. The wife and I both have genetic issues, so kids aren’t in the future unless we stumble upon a teenager that needs someone to actually give a fuck about them.

    I have a ton of outdoorsman knowledge and skills and no one to pass it down to, which makes me sad. But I’m hesitant to join an organization for kids without any of my own because of the BSAs past controversy.

      BSA is not the only scouting org, and there are other ways to be a positive role model (such as volunteering for Big Brothers Big Sisters).

        It’s the only one around me, unfortunately. Well, there is the Boys and Girls club, but they’ve had similar issues with predators.

        I’m sure I’m worrying too much. I briefly joined up with a troop in my 20s before college got in the way and the leadership was happy to have a younger adult involved.
