Jin (BTS): He was scouted just randomly on the street.Mark (Got7) He was scouted while eating a sandwich.Hyunjin (Stray Kids) He was scouted while getting off a bus.Ryujin (Itzy) She was scouted at a Got7 FansignV (BTS) He went to support his friend while having an audition and then V was scouted by accident.There’s more but I can’t remember them of the top of my head.

In addition to many of the factors explained in the other answers—urbanization, failure to adapt, changing demographics, and so on—two things hurt the Boy Scouts badly:Homophobia. The Boy Scouts had to be dragged kicking and screaming into modern times. For years, they hated and despised homosexuality; until just seven years ago, their policies strictly forbade homosexual members. This archaic bigotry is as old-fashioned and embarrassing as if they, say, forbade entry to Black or Jewish people.Widespread sex abuse. For an organization that was all about morals, morals, morals, God, God, morals, God, morals, upstanding, God, morals, morals, the Boy Scouts had a difficult time coming to grips with widespread pederasty and sex abuse in its ranks. They just filed for bankruptcy under the weight of liability for rampant sex abuse: Boy Scouts of America files for bankruptcy due to sex abuse lawsuits And their bankruptcy filing contains a ticking bomb: notice that they intend to try to escape liability for any abuse that is not reported within about 11 weeks: Boy Scouts says it's safe, and offers sex abuse victims just 80 days to file claim. Victims balk. (How’s that for morals, eh?)In a lot of ways, the Boy Scouts is a fossil, an aging relic of the worst parts of the 1950s (bigotry, intolerance, authoritarianism, and unwillingness to address structural abuse). The rest of the world is moving beyond those ideas, while the Boy Scouts remains firmly rooted in the past.Even today, the Boy Scouts maintains that atheists and agnostics are barred from participating. It harks back to a time when only straight Christians were real people, and the best way to deal with abuse of power was a piping hot mug of “shut the fuck up and get in line.”

I joined the Scouts in my youth.I somehow managed to maintain my atheism and support gay rights. Those weren’t big focuses of my Scouting experience. Indeed, I can’t remember these subjects coming up at all.I did learn how to tie a bowline, pitch a tent, flip a flapjack, and sing a bunch of camp songs.Do your research. I am willing to bet that you’ll find a suitable Scouting group in your area.
