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”.
ALL by design. Obama was the gasoline and match; Mission accomplished.
Liberals only destroy organizations, don’t create them.
They’ve had strong control of the Girl Scouts for years. Campfire is open. But no, they have to take down the Boy Scouts, too.

It is the freaking BOY Scouts! It isn’t like there isn’t a GIRL Scouts - there is, and has been for many decades.
What is so hard about this:
1) You have a wee-wee, its Boy Scouts for you.
2) You don’t have a wee-wee, its Girl Scouts for you.
3) You don’t like your present situation between your legs, and honestly plan to change that, then it is the Transformer Scouts for you...though I’d suggest a psychiatrist first.
No muss, no fuss - for anyone logical.
And decrease the little focus on boys even more...
You know, I have read every reply on these threads and I have come to realize many freepers are not aware of all the aspects of the scouting program. I am a father of two children, one boy 19 Eagle scout, and a girl 13 working towards Gold. My daughter has been a part of the boy scout program since before she could crawl. The boy scout program she has been watching has made her a better person and more self sufficient than anything the girl scouts could even think of offering. The boys in my troop are growing and learning to be good strong men. When they mature, they will be looking for good strong women. That is not how girls are being raised now.
The decisions being made at the national level are being done for political and / or adding more youth to pay into the program, but at the local level we are running our program the way it was meant to be run.
The program is run like this in other countries and it works well. society may be crumbling around us, but we are still providing a good solid program for the few that are willing to suck it up and do the hard work. Our country will need future leaders, both men and women. I guarantee you that some of those will have already cut their teeth in the BSA program. If your Troop / Pack is not run that way, then you can move to one that is. And rather than busting our chops, consider helping out the good units rather than tossing out the baby with the bath water.
Why? Did Girl Scouts disappear?
