I taught scouts for 12 years. Depending on the year there were 30 to 50 boys in the pack or troop. I'll be the first to say that there are ALWAYS exceptions but for the most part, the boys/young men who didn't have a mother and father in the household were real handfulls, sometimes just plain dangerous. We had to have 2 boys removed from scouts and it was no coincidence neither had a father at home. My mail was stolen just last year. I caught the little sh&^. A 14 yo being raised by his mother who was too busy working to give him the swatting he so nearly deserved. I got him put in jail... it was his 4th trip in. He doesn't have a snowballs chance in hell at this time in life.
A kid needs 3 things, a loving mom and dad. Remove any 1 of those 3 and it increases issues later in life more than you will ever know.
That's not a belief, it's a fact!
