it's just narrow minded and lazy writing to portray Leonardo as a boy scout.
there's so much that can be done with him as a character, same with the complexity of Donatello.
but i guess it's easier to just focus on the funny guy or the angry guy?
Leo in the 1990 Movie was pretty complex.

He was an awesome leader but had flaws. He could be laid-back, he could get baleful. He knew when to be fun-loving and when to get serious... most of the time.

If I had to describe his character arc in one sentence it would be this:
He grew up from a carefree kid into a mature young leader, ready to take on the world.
