This doesn't just affect Scouts. I've either head coached or assisted both of my kids' sports teams their whole lives and it's worse there than my son's Cub /Boy Scout events. Some parents just don't want to be involved in extracurricular activities.

I do, and I'm not patting myself on the shoulder. Do it for your kid, you'll end up positively influencing somebody else's shitty kid in the process. That's just a bonus.
I'm in my 40's now, and am truly grateful for the dads, including my own, that gave up their evenings and weekends, so that we could go camping, and set shit on fire

I spent 5 yrs in Cub/Boy Scouts, I learned a ton from all of the Den Leaders and parents. Scouting related or not. Some parents had obscure hobbies or jobs, we took Den/Pack trips to learn. One of the dads had a huge woodshop so we all built our derby cars there. I learned to respect, properly care for and fold the American flag. A lot of what I learned helped keep a good "moral compass" growing up.
That's what I'm talking about. There are many young men out there that get no guidance at home (not saying that's you), but they'll tell you they'd have been a disaster without scouts. When you have a political agenda that thrives on failure, immorality and de-stabilized families, it's easy to see why scouting is an enemy.
