A long simmering feud between the Boy Scouts and Girl Scouts has broked out into the open with the decision by the Boy Scouts to accept females in their ranks.
The controversial decision by the Boy Scouts includes a weak and confusing justification.
The Boy Scouts of America announced Wednesday that its board of directors had unanimously approved a decision to begin admitting girls into its Cub Scout program and to develop a program that will allow girls to eventually attain the rank of Eagle Scout for the first time ever.
“This decision is true to the BSA’s mission and core values outlined in the Scout Oath and Law. The values of Scouting – trustworthy, loyal, helpful, kind, brave and reverent, for example – are important for both young men and women,” said Michael Surbaugh, the BSA’s Chief Scout Executive in a news release.
The organization has offered programs that include girls for decades, such as the Venturing high-adventure program and Explorers career-shadowing program. But this is the first time the organization has opened up its traditional programs to girls, including the option to reach Eagle Scout, a distinction only about 2 percent of scouts have ever achieved, according to the BSA.
A news release from the BSA said that high interest from parents and a desire to serve busy modern families contributed to the decision, as well as a more general desire to expand scouting programs to include as many people as possible.

The GS will very soon capitulate and say it’s all good. Their leftist handlers will see to it. “A house divided against itself,” and all.
Whatever happened to Indian Guides?
Girls will be boys, and boys will be girls.
It's a mixed up, muddled up, shook up world,
Yep, we had young ladies in my Explorer Post in the early 70's.
I don’t think so. They see this as the first step in the demise of the Girl Scouts. These organizations that lost their sense of purpose years ago are now competing for a shrinking base of parents and kids who even give a sh!t about them anymore.
They already do. But they pretend to be girls.
I joined the girl scouts....for two weeks. Everything they were teaching, I had already learned. It was like being in kindergarten.
The Blow Scouts...haven’t been worth a piss since they allowed perverts running the show. They’ve been dishonored.
How much knowledge of English are reporters and editors required to have in this country?
My honest prediction is that the two organizations will merge. Call it just “scouting.” Why not? They are both meaningless now, might as well be meaningless together.
I was hoping that would bother someone besides me. sheesh.
Boys in the Girl Scouts! WooHoo!
Most of my boy scout fantasies involved getting into girl scouts...
Yet the Girl Scouts accepts transgenders. Go figure.
Boy Scouts died when the BSA allowed homosexuality in and violated their most basic essence...”morally straight”.
As someone yesterday here said, the left infiltrates institutions, kills them and skins them, wears their old reputation and good name like a skin suit, and then finally completes the destruction.
And as Ayn Rand put it, in a compromise between food and poison, death is the only winner. The BSA and Tillerson let perversion in, and now they are imploding.
“has broked out into the open”
“How much knowledge of English are reporters and editors required to have in this country?”
They also speak of people who are awake as “woke”.
Of course they would be mad. They will have fewer girls to exploit in their cookie racket.
