Not sure why they still have the Girl Scouts then. Wouldn't it make sense to have The Scouts of America? I don’t know there is a valid reason to not let boys and girls participate in the same scouting activities…unless you can’t trust the girls around the boys. Yeah I'm not sure what their reasoning actually is. Maybe we will see them change thing around entirely soon enough. |

But you can trust boys using the girls locker rooms in high school, right? |

Can boys join the Girl Scouts?
There's a great episode of Brady Bunch about this.
The things they used to teach the Girl Scouts, like sewing, gardening, canning, and running an efficient home on an budget, are pretty much passé. Not in our everyone needs a job, amazonion consumer society. But learning outdoor skills still provides a service: recreational hiking and camping. |

See my comment above, but truly, what is purpose of learning to sew and put up canned goods grown from your own garden…especially if you don’t have a garden or a sewing machine. You can learn that on the internet if you need those skills. |

Then boys should learn those skills too. Boys can sew, knit, and crochet and cook too. |

I agree, they all should learn it. Hence why I believe they should just switch it to the Scouts of America. Makes more sense. |

Can boys join the Girl Scouts? No. And the Girl Scouts sued the Boy Scouts when the Boy Scouts first started letting in girls because they thought the Boy Scouts were were unfairly invading their turf. |

However, boys can join the Girl Scouts too, but that goes against the “girls are icky” code. So I say, abolish both organizations and reform as one. |

They should let girls in (why they want to is beyond me when they have their own) if they want in, but changing the name is stupid and is bowing to the pressure of the pronoun people. Well, cons fund the Boy Scouts so this might be a huge money hit for them. Cons already threatened to stop funding when they allowed girls to join. I suspect the breaking point would be if the Scouts did something unforgivable. No, not covering up child molestation, cons made no threats of cutting off funding over that. I'm talking something serious, like officially saying slavery was bad. |

Now the camp counsellors will be able to abuse little girls as well as little boys. The Boy Scouts (of America) has long been a hotbed of pedophilia, much like the Catholic Church. Whatever happened to Girl Guides? |
