What's the current thought on the "Scouts"? Are there better organizations for young people to be in?

Trail Life USA is what Boy Scouts used to be: all boys, prayer, outdoor/life skills, camping, pro-USA, no woke politics, etc. It was founded in response to BS's liberalization and child abuse scandals. The original troops were all defected BS troops.
  
I volunteered as a leader and it was a lot of fun and a good influence on my son.

Great link. I had no idea of Trail life. Unfortunately, I need something equivalent for my daughter since that is boys only (rightfully so) and girl scouts are gonna be a massive self hating camp

Look into Heritage Girls, they are the girls-only Trail Life affiliate group. Lots of TL families had daughters in Heritage Girls, I heard lots of positive feedback.

I got my eagle.

I want nothing to do with them anymore.

What really happened is they got sued into oblivion and people just left once they realized their donations were funding lawyers and leftists.

Do we even have to guess the last names of the lawyers involved?

I am a scout leader, although actually cubs as I joined when my boys were beavers. Parts of it fucking suck, the training has tons of globohomo b.s. with loads of diversity propaganda and of course it is feminised throughout. On the whole though it teaches collective strength and good values so for me it's a net win. I have 2 boys so only became a leader to secure their place as the local wait list is years long.
In reality, it's fairly decentralised so then values of the leaders are naturally allowed to shine through if they wanted. Officially there is a line to tow but so long as I don't get them all doing a Sieg heil or making swastika flags there is plenty of opportunity to pass on good values outside of the school system.
Aside from sportsball there isn't much male-led stewardship of the youth that I can see here in the UK. I love teaching kids and it was the best medium I could find that wouldn't demand every single minute of my free time, it's about 5 hrs a week including the 1 HR weekly session, planning, parent comms, collating etc. I highly encourage you to volunteer in your local community in any way. Chip away at that miserable git you'll become sat online scrolling.
