The value of an all-boys organization was self-evident to the Boy Scouts’ founders and to the Scout leaders who followed them. Masculine comradeship underlies males’ willingness to undertake military and civic sacrifice. Boys compete with one another, torment one another, but also sometimes elevate one another. They seek adult males to emulate—ideally their fathers but, in the absence of their own father, a father figure embodying masculine virtue. That father figure can even be imaginary; boys’ aspirations are fired by tales of male courage and the accomplishment of great feats.

Boy Scouts as originally founded and through at least the 60s was an excellent organization. It was always probably a magnet for homosexual pedophiles, but the overall mission and purpose was laudable. “For God and Country.” Doesn’t get any simpler than that.

Of all the imbecilic trends resulting from the Decadence of Western Civilization, Girling the Boy Scouts is one of the stupidest.

The Boy Scouts were "gayed" years ago for ideological reasons.
Being "girled" is a vain attempt to regain membership.
