So maybe they should drop the "Girl" and "Boy" labeling and just call them the "Scouting with physical fun in the dirt and spitting" or "Scouting with lots of social bonding".

But maybe there needs to be a scouting option where boys like Drich can live out his latent homo erotic fantasies?

There is.

The clergy.

There you go, Drich.  Send your kid to the clergy.  I hear they're very hands on.

Gay camps already exist

My husband was an eagle scout and he supports letting girls in.

Basically it's because girl scouts suck. They don't get to do all the cool stuff the boyscouts do. They don't get the money for it, and girls in girl scouts don't get all the same benefits, like an eagle scout title that can get you college scholarships, etc. I was in girl scouts when I was in 2nd and 3rd grade and I remember thinking it was so dumb. We didn't get to do much of anything, while the boy scouts got to go camping and do all these special adventurous activities and get badges that actually meant something and would look good on college applications, etc.

Also, my husband said having girls in there would really have helped build better social relationships between girls and boys. It would help them learn to relate to each other and have a better understanding of the opposite sex.

It seems that these days the only thing the girl scouts have going for them is they accept gay and trans kids.

Other than that it's basically a cookie cartel.

And the cookies aren't even that good any longer.

I want to die with a thin mint in my mouth.

I wasn't an outdoorsy type. I spent all my time inside my room reading books.

Never did scouts. I do have the uniform, it's not regulation though =p

I think it's good for boys and girls to mix together. If you want an all boy organization, there's nothing stopping you from starting your own group. In fact there's a lot of other scouting organizations other than boy scouts and girl scouts, but they never get the same attention.

Quote:So can any of you explain why the BOY SCOUTS are being forced to allow girls in, while the Girl scouts do not?

So when a private organization's Board of Directors votes unanimously to change a policy you interpret that as being "forced?"

because it's members were not asked

two sisters were and my aunt was a den mother so... yeah. also been a weblow through a regular boy scout. outside of the scouting manual there was no planned itenary. my sisters went on camping trips (as well as x4 sleep overs) they went to the state park to swim and hike. they also got to sell those cookies which we never did. plus they had their own merrit badge system.

What the problem is?
