My husband did Indian Guides with our two boys for years, then Scouts with both of them through Eagle. Then he participated in Indian Princesses with our younger daughter. I remember after they stopped doing it, the programs merged into Indian programs. I just looked it up and they still have parent/child programs - it looks like they call them Y-Guides.

“My husband did Indian Guides with our two boys ...”

Thanks for the information.

I have no problem with boys and girls doing things together as long as there is not the hazard of undesirable sexual activity. Most problematic is homosexual seduction.

I have no problem if boys want to do things without girls and vice versa.

If someone who considers themself to be neither boy nor girl wants to be in a group of boys or girls, they need to blend in the best they can and not trumpet their differentness.

I feel fortunate that I was an Indian Guide. The Young Men’s Christian Association’s Indian Guides program strengthened family and social relationships and fostered a positive outlook on moral issues.

Even though it taught young people to appreciate America’s Indian heritage and engaged in charitable activities such as toy drives for needy American Indian children, the program was shut down some years ago for being “racist.”
