boy scouts
Prepared youth group
Boy scouts are members of a youth organization focused on outdoor skills, camping, citizenship, and personal development.
More loosely, the term describes people perceived as naive, overly earnest, or morally rigid: He's too much of a boy scout to play office politics.
The singular boy scout works the same way. (Capitalized Boy Scouts is the organization itself.)
