Boy Scouts renaming themselves.....

[GregV814]

after a Century of the Boy Scouts of America's existence, the name will be changed to Scouts of America. Well, it changed course several years back so girls could "follow the rugged road" too.

So, this morning on one of the news outlets, maybe Fox 5, maybe CNN, (it was on in the PF), some woman, listed as an INFLUENCER Eagle SCOUT was gleaming with joy that SHE was to be admired for her courage and fortitude. (I have my opinion about that as an Eagle Scouts proud father) buttt.......

What are YOUR thoughts about pre-teen girls/women in the boy scouts?

 

[vraiblonde]

They separated boy and girl Scouts for a reason. What's with these Commies and their hatred of girls having their own spaces without boys?

Hi I'm Jason, and I'll be your Scout Master.

I'm less worried about them than the single adults who work with them.


My son was a boy scout for about a week. One of the counselors gave me a creep vibe. I am basing that on nothing but a gut reaction to this mother ****er, but when my gut tells me something like that, it's hard not to listen to it.

Maybe when the girls wanted in with the Boy Scouts?

I blame The Brady Bunch.

For your consideration ...

If one doesn't want boys to be able to focus, it's a great idea. Besides, every boy knows that girls have cooties and don't want to be around them.

On a side note, every time I'm asked if I want to buy girl scout cookies from those ambushing mothers that set up in front of Giant, or any other place, I say until boys are allowed to join, I'm not buying. It's good that these young girls get real life negative consequence experiences at an early age, right?

When I'm asked to buy GS cookies, I just peel off a twenty hand it to the young lady and go about my business. The troop doesn't get crap from the sale of cookies better to just give the troop a donation. But that is just my opinion.

I also am the father of an Eagle Scout - who has special needs. And with the exception of his age extension - he did not avail himself of any special considerations in completing his badges - he did them the hard way, like everyone else. I'm especially proud of the fact that he often CHOSE badges because they were hard to do.

I ALSO have a daughter who was in Scouts - early on, as a GIRL SCOUT and later, as a Scout.

(By the way - Girl Scouts have always been a completely separate organization from inception. They were founded here right around the same time as BSA was).

And my Scout daughter was bored stupid in Girl Scouts. Most adult leaders in GSA will confirm - the main thrust of Girl Scouts varies greatly depending on who's running it, but the one she was in was largely centered on stuff like crafts. She wanted to camp, play sports, climb rocks and go on hikes and fish.

So she joined Scouts. And she camped, and played sports and climbed on rocks and went on hikes and went fishing. Stuff like that. If Girl Scouts had offered that, she would have stayed with them. Sadly, she left the Scout troop as they were unable to keep members.

While my son was in Boy Scouts - he got to lead Cub Scouts and I attended their pack meetings with him and they had girls. I've never had a problem with this - at the Cub Scout level - ages 5-10 - boys and girls can do a lot of the same things side by side.

I'm not aware of any Scout level troop that has both boys and girls. If they should decide to join Venturing, they can be but one, don't know of any in this area and two, Venturing is VERY different from the regular BSA program - a great deal of the program focuses on CAREER advancement.

Sea Scouts is co-ed.

I agree, but I want the cookies too. I do give them a donation as well.

Nope, not even a donation. Not from me. They are persona non grata. In the past I would buy some cookies. But since the feminists destroyed the Boy Scouts, I will never again support the girl scouts. In any way.

If the girl scouts were so lacking in certain activities, then the parents, and the girls, should have demanded that their organization mirror certain activities of the Boy Scouts.

Boys need mentorship from Men. Girls need mentorship from women. It's a simple concept. But though feminist activism, it has been turned upside down.

It's one of the many reasons there are so many soy boys today. Weak, feebleminded, and moronic men that lack any semblance to the word masculinity.

I was a Brownie/GS mom for several years. I did countless cookie sale booths in the dead of cold! Our Troop also did camping trips to Hershey. I went twice. It was a rainy chit show. One year I insisted on a hotel room.

Scouting is dead, for the males anyway. I hope Girl Scouts survive.
