To: TRY ONE
Actually, the Girl Scouts discriminate more than the BSA does. The GSUSA has no program at all for boys (in fact, their international umbrella organization, WAGGGS, forbids the creation of such programs by their members), and forbids men from being the "principal leader" in their units. Whereas the BSA has a traditional program for young women from the ages of 14 to 21 (Venturing), a non-traditional program for people of all sexual preferences from the ages of 6 though 18 (Learning for Life), and allows women to occupy any leadership position they have. Since it seems that there are far more women than homosexuals and atheists, I'd say that the BSA excludes fewer people than the GSUSA does.
