1956 I joined girl scouts. Two meetings....worthless.

Already knew all that from my older brother who eventually became an eagle scout.

"I got jealous of what my brother got to do because he's a Boy Scout ...," said 10-year-old Ella Jacobs.

No Ella, you weren't jealous or upset until your parent(s) told you that you were, right after talking to their lawyer.

not to worry, you just need to be 14 and then it will be ok and you can join

there is no sex discrimination, there is age restriction, like getting a drivers license of drinking beer

The Girl Scouts has gone far left, from endorsing lesbianism to sexuality in middle school. However, you don’t have to join the Boy Scouts.

And that doesn’t include finding a Girl Scout troop that DOES do the outdoors stuff, which a few still do, but sitting around meditating for merit badges is less work.

I suspect their parents are simply looking for LAWSUITS, similar to what happened when we let women into combat roles - the first thing they did was sue everyone.

Obviously they have the option of Girl Scouts, but there’s no financial reward with that path.

More bull crap from the feminist scum.

There are things boys and men should be allowed to have as their own.

Enough is enough The answer is NO!

The BSA also offers Explorers and High Adventure scouting that is co-educational.

Women seem determined to destroy everything!

God Damn busy bodies.

Then sue the GIRL SCOUTS for being ineffective with their charter and activities!

This is all about TEARING DOWN Boy Scouts, and nothing to do with her missing out on anything.

There are other options than changing the Boy Scouts if the local Girl Scout chapter isn’t providing what these girls are seeking:

1) YMCA sponsored Indian Guides and Indian Princesses
2) Campfire. Coed
3) Frontier Girls which tries to recreate the old Girl Scout programming. Teaches morality and patriotism in addition to skills.
4) American Heritage Girls. A Christian alternative to Girl Scouts.
5) Baden Powell Service Organization - Coed tradition scouting.
6) Parents get involved in the local Girl Scout Chapter and add the programming
7) Parents work with the children to form an organization that meets their needs which apparently they have done with the Unicorns.

In today’s narcissistic world people demand long established traditional organizations to change radically to accommodate their desires, instead of seeking out and finding organizations to join with the values and programming they desire. Here we have another instance of “all about me” children demanding their selfish desires be fulfilled with the help of their narcissistic parents. Likely if they got their way, they’d quickly get bored and move onto something else. The fact their momentary self indulgence had forever changed an organization with millions of members wouldn’t bother them in the least.

Strange that rather than fighting to reform the Girl Scouts these activists choose to destroy the Boy Scouts. Funny how that works.

I have no problem with the girls forming there own group and doing cub scout type activates. I do have a problem with the parents of these children forcing there way into what should be a male social club....anyone that knows a thing about little boys knows that given a the opportunity to name there group it probably would not of been named the unicorns it would of been something like the T-Rex or dragons.

Sounds to me that the Girl Scouts need to expand the topics of interest in their club meetings and outings.

How wonderful the girls must feel knowing their parents will go to those same extremes to show then that the parents would rather to have had boys.

Lets don’t go to the trouble to teach them how to excel in their own gender, but to teach them how “oppressed” they are because they’re female.

Little feminists in training

Why, do they too want to be raped by queer scoutmasters?

Good luck with that.

You don’t have to belong to a club to learn guess they didn’t know the boy scouts have a manual add a dad to that problem solved.

The girls claim the local scout council is breaking its own policy that bars discrimination based on gender. Yet, the federal Title IX law that prohibits such prejudice contains a specific exemption for the Boy Scouts.

Title IX

No person in the United States shall, on the basis of sex, be excluded from participation in, be denied the benefits of, or be subjected to discrimination under any education program or activity receiving Federal financial assistance

So these girls want to go to court to kill that exemption

Lesson to be learned never accept the Federal dollar, no matter how tempting it might be.

A private organization can make its own rules and discriminate until they accept the Federal dollar and then there are no longer their own master.

I’ve seen other folks bring up that girls are allowed in BSA programs like the Venture Crews.

Why don’t the Girl Scouts do “cool stuff?” Is it because they are too busy promoting lesbianism and abortion?

I thought the Supreme Court already ruled on this, allowing the scouts to discriminate based on the ‘right of assembly’.
