I just watched a video on Glenn Beck's The Blaze TV about fixing entitlement culture. The first part of the video is a mother describing how she gave her kids more responsibility at home and the difference it made in them. A lot of what she said reminded me of Scouting and what Scouting promotes for our youth--if it is done right.
You can find the video here:

There's another book out there written by a Califorina LDS Attorney WoodBadger: The Parenting Breakthrough, by Michelle Boyack. My wife keeps asking me to read it, and I will after I get through Wild Things
