The real story behind the collapse of the Boy Scouts of America. This one hits hard. I was a Boy Scout and it was the best thing. You learn a lot of self-reliance and survival tactics. Boys need to interact with other boys in a constructive way. The video doesn't call it out exactly but pedophiles really killed the Scouts. I wish that boys had the support, leadership and role models to guide them, especially today, more than ever.

Oh yeah, we've been getting high-quality job candidates, haven't we?
