The other key thing about scouting is that it probably provides positive role models for these kids. Unfortunately the culture in a lot of these inner cities values athletes or rappers, that is the only way "out" to a lot of these kids and that's sad because its nearly impossible to make it in either one of those fields.
There is a lot of good work going on in these areas, but obviously not enough. For all the resources Obama wants to put into more free housing and more EBT cards and other handouts, why not invest in more programs (like scouting) or other boys and girls club types things that keeps these kids off the streets? why don't more of these black lives matter people put their energy towards things like that instead of showing their kids that police are to blame for all of their problems.
