Summary

This quote suggests a sense of skepticism towards organizations, particularly the Boy Scouts, that have set guidelines and rules in the form of a handbook. The speaker possibly harbors a lack of trust towards such organizations, contemplating whether rigidly defined guidelines could restrict individuality or impose a certain ideology. It implies a preference for freedom and autonomy rather than adhering to predetermined standards set by an organization.
