Boy Scouts will allow girls to join

[dpg481]

I am a scout leader also. At our sign up earlier this year I was approached by a parent wanting to get her daughter in out pack. I told her that was not possible and later talked to a council 10 admin about it. I was told it was well in the works for the organization to be CO-ED. After hearing that, this is my son's and my last year in the organization.

Wake up AMERICA and stop the foolishness. Boy scouts are for boys. Girl scouts are for girls.

They already accept them in BSA Venturing. We had a couple of girls in our Explorer post in the 70's.

While it's not new to BSA to include females, I don't think leadership of a troop like the one my son was in is prepared for this. Our scoutmaster was specific about no female adults on campouts or summer camp. We saw what happened with troops that had men and women leaders at summer camp and it caused all sort of problems. Compound that with little girls, and I wouldn't want to be in leadership of a troop.

Just my .02 as someone who grew up in the scouting program and was an Asst Scoutmaster for a large Boy Scout troop.

Strange....I could have sworn that's what the Girl Scouts was for.

Sad, but not surprising.

this is why i quit supporting them a few years ago,i never liked the popcorn but was a willing contributor of cash and a hand shake as i was involved cub scouts and boy scouts, its a shame what they have been forced to become,

Those boys should have no problem pitching a tent at camp outs

I see what you did there.

The news article I read made it seem like each troop can make its own choice. Can anyone confirm?

Completely the results of 8 years of democratic rule..
Welcome to Obamas world..

Probably like they did when they accepted gay teens, but it doesn't stop groups from suing those troops.

The year 2020 it will
"The Scouts of America" all welcome boys, girls and those who are just not sure.

The Boy Scouts are NOT what they use to be and exactly why my son is NOT a Boy Scout.. Got him in the Boys/Young Men group at our Church.

Boy Scouts LOST my support when they started being POLITICALLY CORRECT and changed...
