I can see that hanging out in the forest and building fires etc, would definitely attract me (as a guy) more towards childcare than having to be bored indoors all year.

This is why I think there is strong value in preserving organisations such as the Scouts and Girl Guides. Kids should definitely have these experiences - both boys and girls.

I'm a bit biased, as I was in the scouts for 17 years... In Australia that was Joey Scouts, Cub Scouts, Scouts, Venturer Scouts and Rovers. Theres a group for basically every age.

I feel that years of predatory leaders may have irreversibly damaged the reputation of the organisation though.
