Yes, real Girl Scouts we’ve known whose fathers took them to meetings stated how dull it was.

Makes me think their exciting photos of action and adventure are all fake or rare trips for any of them.

It’s ok to do “girl” things, but maybe they didn’t expand their horizons enough.

Frankly I don’t mind a unisex youth operation. They should keep them apart for overnight trips, but otherwise it’s not really that big a deal.

My main beef was the context of all around this. Pressure on BSA, homos and trannies and femiNAZIs berating them, etc. I don’t like capitulating and I don’t like tossing tradition.

But for us it’s been not much of any deal. In Cub Scouts the girls were so excited to join our pack and be first introduced to all. The boys have handled it fine.

Who remembers Camp Fire Girls?

I found out it’s long been just Camp Fire.

With respect, I doubt they'd tell you if they didn't like it.

Sure. And I attended "co-ed" schools exclusively. OTOH, I've seen all-boys and all-girls schools up close. There's a lot of value in that environment as well. Same with "scouting" type activities. Girls need to be able to be girls, without the distractions. Boys need to be able to be boys, without the distractions. Modernity allows, even encourages, the former but utterly destroys the latter.

I am a "Brother" of an all-male fraternal society. Our brotherly dynamic would be lost if we let women join.

Boys and girls, men and women, are different. Various social trends seek to erase that difference. It is a futile, destructive effort; we can't change human nature.
