Considering just how far we’ve fallen, calling someone a boy scout is a pejorative followed closely by “were you raped?” with the assumption that every boy scout gets raped
Scouts are old school, we can see how little society wants people like scouts by the ideals scouts are taught
Scout Law:
Trustworthy
Loyal
Helpful
Friendly
Courteous
Kind
Obedient
Cheerful
Thrifty
Brave
Clean
Reverent
Scout Oath:
On my honor I will do my best to do my duty to God and my country and to obey the Scout Law; to help other people at all times; to keep myself physically strong, mentally awake, and morally straight.
Scout motto:
Be Prepared
Scout slogan:
Do a good turn daily
Society does not reward people who adhere to these ideals anymore. In fact, they are actively ostracized
Honestly, as an outsider it seems like an institution (breaking their own oath by) covering things up for decades makes it obvious why people don’t trust (or even respect) them.

The executive leadership certainly did
