I don’t mind so much, but they should change the name!

If you’re going to allow !$!#$@!s, why not girls? I mean, even actual girls?

I’d also like to see Girl Scouts (long a liberal bastion) allow boys. Not very fair, for BSA to go all the way while the females keep out males.

This way it doesn’t matter. Covers all bases.

It’s probably the main purpose, actually - allow trannies.

I hate the people who have done this to a great positive program.

Oh great. Next come sex-change badges. And trannie unisex uniforms.

Looking for market share; leveraging the brand. This is primarily about money, I’m guessing.

Maybe the Girl Scout should start their own Eagle curriculum for Girl Scouts..

Is the leadership that bad in the Girl Scouts where they can not come up with their own Eagle curriculum..?

My daughter always wanted to be a cub scout and attended many cub scout camping events with her brothers as a family. I think she was a toddler when she earned her polar bear badge.

The writer “Pete” and the BSA both seem to have their heads firmly planted where the sun doesn’t shine: what about the GSA?

For all the screaming about “safe spaces” (regardless of objections by those being kept out), amazing that boys can’t have their own “safe space”.

“Growing up I was in Indian Princesses”

I know two young fathers that with their daughters are in Indian Princesses. I don’t see a problem with their activities.

But you make a good point. The “Indian” and “Princesses” are in jeopardy.

My daughter tried Girl Scouts but didn’t enjoy it that much. My son started Cub Scouts this year and my daughter has come along the camp outs and and had a great time. She would love an opportunity like this.

Maybe they’ll incorporate, and the Boy Scouts will start selling cookies.
When are they going to change the name to Person Scouts?
