Only just this week did the Scout Association propose that scouts should have sex education lessons. Personally, I was gobsmacked...
For more than 100 years, boys as young as 6 have been taught valuable life skills from putting up a tent to lighting a fire. But is it really ideal to teach kids about the 'birds and the bees'?
Understandably, parents are concerned as to whether the proposal is necessary, especially at such a young age. Certainly parents will carefully consider sending their child in the future to scouts.
It can be argued, a childs' purity will decrease if they are aware of 'adult behaviour'. Every parent squirms when it comes to sitting down and talking about sex. Nonetheless it remains the parents' duty to discuss this with their children rather than a teacher.
The argument questions: too much too soon?
