Brownies and Girl Scouts were unremarkable experience, mostly making crafts, peddling cookies and chatting about menstruation.
The Boy Scouts had all the fun and adventure and were taught lifelong applicable skills.
The Boys Scouts are a far better organization than the Girl Scouts and girls should not be denied they chance to be part of such a great organization
My son told her that the girls would have their own troop. she does not like Brownies, that they haven’t even learned to make a tent or start a fire or hunt their own food It is Boring being in Brownies.
No chance of her wanting to become a boy later. She also has to be held back from bedecking herself with bling and is holding that down to just a necklace and a bracelet.
But she wants to actually DO STUFF in the outdoors, not just crafts like in Brownies.
Why can't she or her friends, or their moms start her own girls' scouting outfit? Is it about the activities, or about the boys?
Or why not join better organizations that already exist? There are some that have been started in recent years, as the traditional American ones have gotten perverted at the national level by having to approve of homosexuality and abortion. Most of the new ones are Catholic or Evangelical. At least some of the religious ones I've heard of for girls seem more adventurous about the outdoors and at the same time celebrating girls for being feminine.
