A group of girls in Pearland, Texas, are blazing new trails as the members of Scouts BSA Troop 4640.

Troop 4640 performs the same tasks as any group of scouts. They camp, earn merit badges and even participate in axe throwing. But this troop is unique because it consists of only girls.

"I wanted to join Scouts BSA because my brother has been in scouting for a very long time and I've always loved the things he's done," said Brenna Tate, a 13-year-old member of Troop 4640. "I've always just wanted to go camping and, in general, learn about the outdoors."

The girls are joining the BSA because the GSA sucks! The BS do cool stuff like go camping and the likes. The GS just push birth control and selling cookies to support PP.

just a matter of time until they rename the group - gender neutral and all inclusive.

Like Person Scouts of America

Is there some rule that prevents the Girl Scouts from doing these things?

My son has been a Boy Scout for some time. If girls want to go on camping trips and learn outdoor skills of scouting, I don’t think it’s a problem for them to join scouts. Our troop now has some girls, and I have noticed a problem yet.

I’m 67 and in my day girls were allowed to be Explorers. There is not a joke in there somewhere. I don’t see what the big deal with this is.

Girls joined the BSA because Leftist mommies couldn’t get at the BSA any other way.

Parents will disassociate with scouting.

End of scouting program for our youth.

Girls will whine, because their mommies told them to whine.

Relish the thought.

Yeah, don't be "woke" and try to change the Girl Scouts. Go try and destroy the Boy Scouts for boys. Yeah, that's the ticket!

In the first grade I had a fellow classmate who made the mistake of calling Girl Scouts green beans.

He had to write, “I will not call Girl Scouts green beans.”, 5,000 times.
