Agreed. We had ladies for den leaders in Cub Scouts back then but the Boy Scouts had all men for leaders in the 50’s and later in the 70’s when our son was in, that’s how it should be now.
There can be a case made for women leaders. They progress from den leaders to Boy Scouts.
In our troop we have two ladies that are part of the leadership. They are both valuable to the troop in records keeping and in event transportation planning. One has completed Woodbadge. They both participate in the outdoor program.
We have about 70 scouts and 80 registered leaders.
Last evening I chaired an Eagle Rank presentation ceremony to a scout who returned from Singapore for the ceremony. His family had to move there before the scheduled court of honor. It was a very important ceremony in the life of our troop in that I had presented the Eagle Award to his dad a few years back. It was the first instance of both father and son from the troop receiving the Eagle award.
