I don't think these girls are radical feminists, but rather they want to avoid the radical feminism of the Girl Scouts, and that is exactly what they have done.

NEW YORK (AP) — For 108 years, the Boy Scouts of America’s flagship program has been known simply as the Boy Scouts. With girls soon entering the ranks, the group says that iconic name will change.
The organization on Wednesday announced a new name for its Boy Scouts program: Scouts BSA. The change will take effect next February.
“We wanted to land on something that evokes the past but also conveys the inclusive nature of the program going forward,” said Chief Scout Executive Mike Surbaugh. “We’re trying to find the right way to say we’re here for both young men and young women.”

Or as the Pedos like to call it, “Scouting For Boys”.
Scouting is dead. The homos killed it.
Thank God I still have my BSA Handbook c 1965, and can remember it as a once great organization that believed in and supported Americanism.
Theyby Scouts.
Gotta wonder if Boys Life magazine will drop "Boys" from its name.
Sick. Thanks again to the radfems for ruining something else good from old America.
“Frankly, I would rather have my daughter in the Boy Scouts organization than the Girl Scouts which has definitely gone left over the years. But what I expect will happen is a demand for a merger at some point by the leftist leadership of the Girl Scouts.”
With this current process of transitioning the Boy Scouts to co-ed, Scouts BSA has come to accept their true long term true identity.
The transition will be difficult, and their will be some societal objection to Scouts BSA coming to terms with their new reality.
There may even be some awkward moments, like when a Scout BSA knocks on your door to sell cookies and you refer to him as a Girl Scout.
I did not realize that it was Rex Tillerson who initiated the change in membership requirements at the Boy Scout.
Thank you for posting that fact.
Just for the record.......
Boy Scouts sell popcorn generally in November.
I don't think these girls are radical feminists, but rather they want to avoid the radical feminism of the Girl Scouts, and that is exactly what they have done.
So what happens to the Girl Scouts?
That’s totally sick. Boy Scouts true identity is to be a place where boys can be boys, and not need to act according to the sensibilities of girls or be lead by women.
“Boy Scouts sell popcorn generally in November.”
Yeah.
But the Scouts BSA will learn that a cute as a button eight year old girl can sell cookies better than a fourteen year old boy can sell popcorn.
Reason #43,156 that I’m glad I left BSA January 1, 2014.
We also joined Trail Life USA January 1, 2014
BSA leadership is so fixated on being “relevant” that they completely forgot the reason for their existence. The boys.
The Scouts BSA packs & troops will remain segregated by gender and we will have more women with the traditions and morals of Boy Scouts and less women with the feminist ideology of the Girl Scouts.
WBill Jr. joined Cubs before all this foolishness started. I decided to let him keep rolling with it, because he'd look at a removal as a punishment. Instead, I got heavily involved and made sure that all the foolishness didn't infect the troop (it didn't, in fact, the troop became more conservative....) But I digress.
When we got started a few years ago, there were 35-40 kids in the cub scout pack. This whole "gays in the scouts" thing flared up soon after we joined.
Now, there are 6 left and the pack is hanging on by a fingernail. I'd guess that it will disband next year; trying to add girls to it will be the end of it. Other packs are just as bad off, or worse. A handful of them have disbanded, the "Big" one in the area is down to 30 or so, from 120-140...and it's only that big because it vacuumed up leftovers from disbanded packs.
I worked on recruiting for a couple of years. The higher-ups (not local) blamed everything - video games, soccer, youth football, karate classes, too much homework, not enough homework, bad camping weather, single-parent families... everything - for membership loss. All of these things existed just a few years ago, though. There's nothing new locally, no new teams, no new rec leagues, nothing.
So what's changed? The leadership started to make poor decisions. Everyone quit. It's not hard to go from point A to point B.
Sad to see a great institution crumble. Liberals cannot create, they only destroy all that they infect.
The Scouts BSA packs & troops will remain segregated by gender and we will have more women with the traditions and morals of Boy Scouts and less women with the feminist ideology of the Girl Scouts.

I don’t think so, water and other things run downhill. The boy scouts will pick up the leftist rhetoric. Remember feminism WON this battle.
“Remember feminism WON this battle.”
No, feminism lost.
Agree completely.
If feminism won, why are they running from the GSA?
And let’s not forget, national has almost NO input on program. It’s down to Scoutmasters and Committees. Full stop.
Which is why they are leaving GSA.
