Boy Scouts to admit girls into programs - 40 years to late for me

Why do girls need to be allowed to join the boy scouts? What's the problem with the girlscouts

Girl Scouts suck apperently. They don't do a good job with good scouting activities like the boyscouts. I can understand the reason they don't like it. I would think they would just start doing it though. But merging them? Aren't they 2 different organizations?

All they ever did was sit around in a circle and make ****. That's it. They drew pictures, made badges, and stuff like that. It was like Troop Beverly Hills, without the money. One time, I remember they went camping and it wasn't real camping. It was in a big long room. They slept on sleeping bags on the floor. The girls hated it.

Sounds like your troop sucked

They just cannot permit a single place where boys can be boys.




Do they have a cross dressing merit badge now?

Really? We camped all the time (yes, I was the world's worst Girl Scout).

I was never a girl scout but I have eaten a few brownies

(Sorry I had to go there) I tried to stop myself but I just couldn't do it.

Nope. The only competition was cookie sales. That was scary, though. [emoji38]

I am a huge suckered for the kids pimping their crap. I buy from all of them. The cookies I genuinely like all though their quality has slipped in recent years. The popcorn sucks I typically just hand the kid a 20 and tell them I don't need that have fun on your next camping trip.

Yes they are and they are both have complex buisiness holdings. Lots of money involved

What bothers me is this
The organization’s board of directors unanimously voted to let girls into the Cub Scout program

What do the boy, girls and their parents think?

Because our views on gender have changed so much that the way we do scouts now does not make sense. Plus scouting has been dying a slow death anyways, they need to get relevant.

They're trying to update by allowing girls to troops. They don't have to merge with an existing organization to accomplish that.

They might need to change the organization's name, though. ;)
