That's unfortunate. Hopefully, an isolated case and not represetative
of the organization as a whole. After 3-4 yrs as a Cub Scout and 3 as
a Boy Scout, I finally quit due to blatant nepotism within our troop.
But, while I regret that incident, I can't default an organization
that taught me many meaningful lessons in life, gave me a lifelong
love of the outdoors, and provided my with many great memories.
Unfortunately, like any organization, it can only be as good as the
people running it at any given time.
