Tbh I may be wrong but the concept isn’t totally bad for the US. I mean the whole patriotic element of it is garbage, but in a potential Socialist USA(idek what that would look like but I hope for it someday) a lot of the concepts they teach are kinda admirable(obviously I don’t fuck with the cisgender normative approach of it, acceptance of trans boys would be best) like teaching gun safety(there’s no shot that the US will get rid of our guns anytime soon so being pragmatic and living safely with guns is a good way to deal with guns) respect for Native Americans and their values and cultures. I was never a scout but a few friends and family members were scouts and they knew a lot about native traditions and practices that I never knew about. They also teach survival skills which I think objectively come in handy for anybody who wants to be in nature and enjoys hiking/kayaking/etc.
