glob..

Stupid people should be made/FORCED to understand there are always multiple perspectives. And while no one is compelling the BSA to accept girls, the BSA is indeed FORCING all of it's affiliates to accept this new rule. meaning no one is able to opt out.. Do you now understand moron?

Did you read the statement they made? They said that existing packs can CHOOSE what to do:

"Existing packs may choose to establish a new girl pack, establish a pack that consists of girl dens and boy dens or remain an all-boy pack.  Cub Scout dens will be single-gender — all boys or all girls."

Read the source once in a while.

So please explain how a 'free market' have anything to do with a non-profit traditionally Christian organization???

Oh, so sorry, you're OK with business making their own decisions but when it comes to non-profits they have to abide by your own morality. Gotcha. Whether an organization is non-profit or not, they should be able to make their own decisions about what they do, provided it's not illegal.

well I kinda did read the source material provided and saw the illusion of choice being presented. From your link:

The BSA’s record of producing leaders with high character and integrity is amazing” said Randall Stephenson, BSA’s national board chairman. “I’ve seen nothing that develops leadership skills and discipline like this organization.  It is time to make these outstanding leadership development programs available to girls.”

Starting in the 2018 program year, families can choose to sign up their sons and daughters for Cub Scouts. Existing packs may choose to establish a new girl pack, establish a pack that consists of girl dens and boy dens or remain an all-boy pack.  Cub Scout dens will be single-gender — all boys or all girls. Using the same curriculum as the Boy Scouts program, the organization will also deliver a program for older girls, which will be announced in 2018 and projected to be available in 2019, that will enable them to earn the Eagle Scout rank. This unique approach allows the organization to maintain the integrity of the single gender model while also meeting the needs of today’s families.

So it seems to me on the cub scout and the eagle scout level girls w be segregated, but for the weblows and boy scouts they will be integrated.
