Hey! I'm a 41 year old female and the Boy Scouts won't let ME join. Maybe I can sue.

While I understand the spirit of your comment (;-) I feel constrained to point out that you *can* join the BSA. Plenty of Packs, Troop, Crews, and Ships would love to have a committed adult volunteer. A Venture Crew could especially use a 41-year old female, as Crews can be co-ed but cannot have female youth on outings unless a female adult is present.

Hmmm. Interesting. Well, my point was only that all groups exclude all kinds of people. I think this whole thing is stupid. Now, if the government said "atheists are not allowed to form a scouting group of their own" that would be discrimination.
