First, you do realize there were girls in scouting when your boys were in the program. Right?

Second, I wasn’t talking about the girls beating up the boys because they are bigger. What kind of person thinks that way?

Third, the program didn’t change to accommodate girls. The girls joined the program because it was still difficult to achieve eagle.

5% of kids who join the program will make Eagle. The girls will have worked just as hard as the boys. If that fact bothers you, get over it. Stop trying to protect the ones who can’t make it from the girls who can.

Girls were not in scouting when my boys were. My BIL was not a scout leader when girls started being allowed either. He also wants no part of the current organization.

I didn’t say you said the girls were beating up boys.

When my boys were in, girls were not allowed in. They are now. That necessitated a change in rules. In my opinion that change has, and will continue to produce detrimental changes in the organization and programs over time.

I don’t care if the girls worked just as hard. They can work hard in girl scouts. I am not trying to protect the boys from the girls. I am trying to protect freedom of association. Boys only organizations should be allowed to exist.

They changed the rules to allow gays scoutmasters and girl members. You are happy with that and want to pretend the current organization is as good as it always was. Feel free to do so.
