Why do some people have a negative attitude towards boy scouts and think that it is uncool or lame. Im in boy scouts and i like it and some other people will go out of their way to cover it up since it might be embarressing ....so...wat do you think

I have no idea except perhaps because they are comrades in a social group with organized activities and when people feel left out sometimes anger causes them to be jealous.

I think it's because the boy scouts are connected with Christianity, and that's enough for some people to hate them. It makes me sad really. Christian groups created the first hospitals, homeless shelters, and run a huge number of charities, and still they're made out by some people to be the worst thing ever. I just don't understand it.

The quality of scout troops varies all over the board. Some are very well established, with a good number of Eagle Scouts and lots of challenging activities. I had the misfortune to belong to a troop run by a couple of hillbillies who had us spend most of our time doing marching drills. I think we had one member who progressed past First Class. I hated it, but my dad wouldn't let me quit.

The boy scouts are great, they teach you a lot about life. Good trainging ground for the future.

In all reality, because it is. People who do it and hide it are just pathetic, though.
