Why should they know how to pitch a tent when Girl Scout camps have air conditioned cabins?

Reminds me of a Scout joke from long ago: What do Webelos like to eat? Brownies.

Hey, I was in 5th grade.

You could call it something like the League of Socialist Youth or The League of Socialist Jugend...

Or maybe what the CCCP used to refer to it as a type of paramilitary organization such as...
The League of Youthful Paramilitarists...

Stressing physical agility training, orienteering, and other skills necessary to navigate the landscape. Plus all the merit badge subjects.

In my opinion the Girl Scouts are the ones folding.

Oh, I agree, far superior. I just like to see them tacitly admitting Boy Scouts is better than Girl Scouts.

They’ve accepted boys who identify as girls for several years.

The Girl Scouts shot themselves in the foot by letting far-left activists take over more than a decade ago. The first salvo was saying stay at home moms are bad role models, they shouldn’t be troop leaders.
Never mind these are the women who tended to:
A. bring the most girls to the troop
B. have the most time
C. have the greatest investment because of tendency to have multiple girls in it over many years

They drove out the most dedicated and available leaders. Instead, you get harried working mom who decides we’ll do a badge on makeovers, yoga and everything else I want to do on my day off.

Guess they merged the groups to consolidate them.

Yeah, considering most people are attracted to the opposite sex. Why doesn’t he have any common sense in his head?

Cooking and sewing are not hobbies - they are life skills.

But, I wouldn’t want to spend all my time doing them.

“Scrapbooking” (who invented that term? not when I was born) is a hobby, but otherwise I’m not sure what the % real skills are vs hobbies. Boy Scouts certainly included hobbies.

I thought I read just recently that the BSA was broke and on the verge of going belly-up.
