A girl we know was heavily recruiting my daughter for her troop. Which one? The local Boy Scout Troop XXX-G. The G being the girls’ troop they’re trying to set up.
I asked about the rules, since she’d a teen. They’ve apparently extended the time you have to earn Eagle to essentially age 20 if you’re signing up at 15-17. And they are actively recruiting boys and girls 15-17 to try to add more paying members.
They’ve had girls in the Explorers (for older teens through 20) for decades. (Just looked it up - since 1971)
