Has the Church created any program as good as the Boy Scouts? Do young Mormon men find the same kind of fulfillment that they used to in the Scouting program?
It's been awhile since the Church cut its ties with the Boy Scouts. I assume they replaced it with something similar. They have had plenty of time to try out whatever it was they replaced it with. I think they got out of the Boy Scouts around 2019.
If they created a new program right away, they have had around 5 years to test it out. How have things gone with it?
Maybe they haven't created a new program yet. Maybe they didn't create a new program until few years after leaving Scouting. Maybe they have tested several new ideas out to see if they would work as well as Scouting once did. Maybe one of the ideas has "stuck", and has been working reasonably well. Maybe no idea has "stuck" yet, and they are still trying to figure something out.
If a new idea has "stuck", I wonder how successful it has been. I wonder if people have found it to be better than Scouting, worse than Scouting, or about the same as Scouting.
