I want to be head of the NAACP too. And I'd like to join the NEA so I can vote against all their liberal policies even though I am not a teacher.
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.
I'm going to ask my wife if I can start up a troop that will include you. Of course, I will expect to be the Scout Master {{:-)
