You’d be both amazed and saddened by how many women are Boy Scout leaders. Both paid and volunteer.
I sense a broad brush.
My wife was Cub Scout leader. She helped out with the Pack when all her boys went on to Boy Scouts.
90% of the boys in her Cub Scout den went on to become Eagle Scouts, including my son.
One attended West Point and is now working at the Pentagon.
I'm sure there are some women in Scouting who were shunned by the shrews in the Girl Scout organization who would act as this author suggests with regard to young men...but they would be the minority I'll wager.
