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.

Got to be annoying for the gay scout leaders.

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.

"I've always just wanted to go camping and, in general, learn about the outdoors."

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.

Can’t wait for boys to start joining the Girl Scouts. Equal opportunity.

I guess there won’t be any open homosexuals volunteering to lead that troop. Maybe some lesbians though.

Troop 4640 performs the same tasks as any group of scouts.

Nope. Troop 4640 is planning to sneak across the lake after curfew and raid the girl's camp.

Since the Girl Scouts couldn’t serve their needs, I guess this is great. I do wonder how or why they think it’s appropriate to have an all girl group, just as others complained about allboy groups. But I’m not gonna bother reading the article so maybe they did discuss that.

As a BSA father/volunteer years ago I went on some campouts with the local troop. There was one park we camped at that a girl scout troop camped fairly close. Both troops were focused on setting up camp while we had daylight. After my tent was set up I asked the other men what they thought about me going to talk to one of the women in the girls' troop to make sure we're all respectful to each other and such.

I spoke with one of the women leaders and we set certain boundaries, mainly things like us leaders being more vigilant in the evenings and during the daytime letting the kids have some leeway with how and when and if they communicated with each other. We'd hang around in the background in case we needed to step in if they started acting stupid and disrespectful around the opposite sex, but until they crossed that boundary we'd let kids be in control of how much social interaction they'd do with each other.

I was pleasantly surprised that neither the boys nor the girls were disrespectful or mean to each other. Nor were they too focused in making googly eyes to each other to be focused on their usual camping tasks. They all acted like young professionals.

Having read most of this thread, I find it disheartening to see how many Freepers, supposedly conservative and dedicated to traditional values just blindly accept girls being brought into a boys organization.

Just sad.
