Thats sick. Do you simply not understand the presence of girls with utterly change everything in the dynamic of a bunch of 13 and 14 year old boys?
Women will kill the exact fun aspects of the BSA that they have decided to swarm in on.
What is this bizzare obsession that women must be absolutely be allowed everywhere men gather to be away from them and their influence?
Girls can join, but they must be in their own troop.
When I was a kid, Cub Scouts ended at 5th grade (age 11 for most), Boy Scouts was 12 & up.
Our society is becoming all about the girl. Our boys are in crisis because masculinity is vilified. Allowing girls into boy scouts might benefit the girls, but it will not help boys.
Of course, allowing boys with gender identity disorder and same sex attraction to openly display it within the organization will not help boys either. Nor will allowing same sex attracted adults to live out their fantasy of camping among a group of pubescent boys in the woods.
Unfortunately, girl scouts is a moral void. There are all girl and coed alternatives, but my daughter and I did not explore any of them. She and I spend a lot of time together instead. I dont think any of the current institutions can do a better job of teaching her to be a strong woman than I can.
Weve got entirely too many social experiments going at one time in our country and we are not waiting to see how any of them play out.
