I realize participation in scouting has declined over the years, but this seems a lot like "we have to kill the patient to save it."
I'd say the reason scouting is on the decline is the increasing number of leftists, feminists, communists, socialists, and other groups who abhor traditional, wholesome, instruction of our youth.
It's further proof that many of those groups have been co-opted by actual communists. JFK liberals had their kids in scouting, and didn't see the skills taught, and the self reliant "be prepared," message of empowerment as somehow threatening.
