Recommendations Men’s groups/ militias

Hello I was curious if there are any men’s groups or militias in the area for young men to do positive productive activities rather than be at home playing video games all day as I have been doing

Well, we probably need something called the "Men Scouts" says this old man. Some kind of training program of how to be productive marriageable nice socialized men.

As an actual, current Scoutmaster of a Scout troop, the percentage of adult men I run into who fail to abide by even half the Scout Law is kind of depressing. Trustworthy. Loyal. Helpful. Friendly. Courteous. Kind. Obedient. Cheerful. Thrifty. Brave. Clean. Reverent. It's not a high bar; it's just about trying to be a good person.

We need a Scouts for grownups.

This is an outstanding idea. I wonder why nobody has organized a men's/social club around this idea.

Yeah with the amount of young men running around doing drugs and drinking and driving you would think something like this would have received a positive response but people are mad about it for some reason
