Boy Scouts Allow Girls

[spoiler]*A Wild Gringo has appeared*[/spoiler] Discuss Edit: The GSA’s response https://www.google.com/amp/6abc.com/amp/society/girl-scouts-boy-scouts-house-is-on-fire/2520116/ [quote] "The Boy Scouts' house is on fire. Instead of addressing systemic issues of continuing sexual assault, financial mismanagement and deficient programming, BSA's senior management wants to add an accelerant to the house fire by recruiting girls."[/quote]

  • I think that this is a terrible idea. This will introduce many more problems for both the BSA and GSA. It will completely alter the point of the Boy Scouts, which is to teach [b]young men[/b] how to be leaders. It's not to teach boys and girls to have a 'yay happy fun time' during meetings. Secondly, camping trips. Sure, camping with the other gender is fine as kids, but once you get into Boy Scouts, you have an entirely different scenario. There will undoubtedly be reports of the r-term (don't know if that's bannable) and kids turning one Eagle-Required Merit badge into another Eagle-Required Merit Badge. [spoiler]someone tell me that they understand that.[/spoiler] Money is an issue too. Camps will have to build more facilities to accommodate the female Scouts. Bathrooms, tents, you name it, it will have to be built. Yes, I understand that the amount of Boy Scouts has fallen in the past few years. My troop had about 110 Scouts a couple years ago, and now we have about 30. We recruited one Scout last year. The solution is not to include more, but to change how Scouts recruit.
