last time I made a "scout" thread..

Hmm, so I just had a thought. what will boys with feminine interests do(maybe they are more on the feminine side or like boys, that sort of thing)? Like do they have some facilities for that? If for example a boy actually likes or even prefer baking cookies and such can he join girl scouts?

Can you clear this up, Tiberius? What is done for boys with feminine interests(the kind of boys that like other boys for example). Are they allowed participation in activities and such like baking (like in girl scouts). I'm asking you because you seem to be well educated on this case. I feel like sometimes when people get busy chasing after the masculine ideal they forget about boys that want no part of it.

...I wouldn't call being a male being gay a 'feminine interest'...it's kind of the opposite by definition, and I think focusing on femininity and masculinity is at best a red herring and at worst rather toxic.  Implying that gay dudes are somehow automatically more drawn towards 'feminine activities' is pretty shitty and outdated.

Anyway, the girl scouts are an entirely separate organization with their own rules and directors - and they're actually against this move by the boy scouts since it will affect their membership numbers.  As far as I know the girl scouts don't let boys join, which is shitty.  The boy scouts are under no obligation to offer things like baking and such, but if anyone (boy or girl) wants to get into that, I'm sure there are plenty of groups they could join (or start).
