If you asked me what had the most significant impact on me during my childhood and adolescence, I would not hesitate one second to say the Boy Scouts of America. During the entirety of my time with the BSA I was a Catholic, but I believe that secularizing it would not remove any of the impact it would have had on me.

Similar to the pedagogical traditions in place since pre-history all the way through ancient Greece (especially Sparta) and further, the BSA seeks to raise children to become responsible adults. We would benefit greatly by establishing such a tradition in the humanist community
