I skimmed the book the past weekend at Barnes & Noble -- felt like I was looking at my old Cub Scout books from back in the early 60s. The book does appear to be a throwback to acknowledge the basic nature of boys which is a good thing in my estimation.
TBH, I wasn’t in Girl Scouts for long enough to give them a fair shake, but I was left wanting by (for example) the one camping trip we did. We spread out our sleeping bags on the concrete floor of an enclosed building with its own heavy duty kitchen. Somehow that wasn’t the camping experience I envisioned, LOL!
These days I don’t care to go camping without a generator/power hookup and air conditioning *grin* and screens to keep out the bugs - and I’m fine with that.
I’m blessed with a patient father who indulged his little girl’s “helping” him as he worked in his shop at home. And I’m darn glad I grew up without having to swaddle myself in helmet and kneepads just to skate or ride my bike.
