as a scout leader, the expansion of the program to include girls in the cub scouts and separate troops in the Scouts of America, can only benefit society.

Dangling Participle (of sorts).

I think you meant to write, "As a Scout leader, I feel that the expansion of the program to include..."

Regards,

As a s out leader I have to agree with teem8er. Bringing girls into the program was a good move for society as a whole. The troops work separately as the kids mature at different rates, however the girls are just as capable in the rough outdoors. Kindly remember this, in the early days of our founding, it wasn’t just the men who moved westward. Both the men and women of that time were looking for a tough individualism for a spouse.
It isn’t much different today. I will also say the girls will easily hold their own outdoors.
