Boy Scouts Will Admit Girls, Allow Them to Earn Eagle Scout Rank

[iceberg]

When I was in Girl Scouts, back in the dark ages, we got cooking and sewing badges. I wonder if the boys will be doing those too. Maybe it's already a choice--I don't know.
My GS leader was not an outdoorsy type AT ALL. We went on one picnic and she forgot the charcoal. We did crafts and poisoned our families with our cooking.

when i was in the 6th grade (pretty much at the height of my boy scout career) we had a choice for elementary school.

cake decorating or bike repair.

only me and 1 other guy took cake decorating. we caught a lot of hell at first and then, after they were done fixing a flat tire, they saw me and him in a room full of girls eating cake.

suddenly we were the smart ones.

i don't know why people have to think that an organization that caters to a select group is bad. some things it seems they want torn down for no good reason other than it's there. this is one of 'em.

If I could go back to my high school days, i'd try to take Home Ec.

Too late. Most schools don't offer it anymore.

well we should protest that with a good home ec bake sale.

While I'm surprised at the move I don't necessarily think its bad.

There is alot girls can learn in the program.

They are going to need strict guidelines for the campouts

The Left Wing PedoCreeps who are running the Boy Scouts are not actually letting "girls" into the Boy Scouts, they are letting gender confused boys in the Boy Scouts

The scouts already have Venture Scouts which allows boys and girls

When have you ever cared about the Boy Scouts?

Aww...just wait and the boys will turn into girls.

Alright, what the fuck is this bullshit? I was in the boy scouts for 5 years and there was something special about getting out there with your buddies and all of their dads and doing/learning cool shit separate from the women that are involved in just about every other aspect of our lives. It wasn't sexist; it was just about male camaraderie. It won't be the same now.

Boy Scouts will admit girls and allow them to earn Eagle Scout rank

The Boy Scouts of America announced Wednesday that girls will soon be allowed to become Cub Scouts and to earn the coveted rank of Eagle Scout, the organization’s highest honor.

"We believe it is critical to evolve how our programs meet the needs of families interested in positive and lifelong experiences for their children," said Michael Surbaugh, chief executive of the Boy Scouts.

Were you an Eagle Scout?

To be fair, it may actually help some boys with gender bender issues get over them. Get them doing masculine things and maybe they will recognize there is nothing wrong with being male.

I don't remember the exact number of kids that have transfreak issues that grow out of it as they age, but I remember it being the majority.

That's why sick leftist filth mongers want to start pumping them full of hormones early on and stunt their going through puberty. They want to emasculate as many male kids as possible.

A rebranding may actually help the scouts

Right now, it is not considered cool. Scouts are called gay
Make it a youth group instead of boys only and it might attract more members

Times change

 

[EverCurious]

You got a big point in there OOM. What's wrong with being a man? Why is it wrong to be assertive and strong minded? What's wrong with holding a door for a lady? I don't get the feminist shit coming out lately it's ridiculous, and they [feminazis] can't leave anything alone for some reason.

I submit that the reason they're so damn miserable is because they're women, not because of anything men do. Speaking as a woman who had to deal with a lot of other women, they're bitches. There's a damn good reason I'm bi instead of a lesbian - I'd end up beating my wife for being so god damn annoying ~snickers~

 

[EvilCat Breath]

It's a loss. The Boy Scouts, Girl Scouts, gone, no more. Now it's the "Scouts". No wonder so many parents are opting for Trail Life and American Heritage girls. Times change.

 

[rightwinger]

Conservatives freaked when Boy Scouts stopped kicking out gays
Now they freak if Boy Scouts start to admit girls

Is there anything they don't gpfreak over?

 

[BulletProof]

The Boy Scouts already felt like they had to cave to pressure to let in girls claiming to be boys (or else face the same government punishment they received for resisting allowing practicing homosexuals in). Following that, it's almost the right thing to do to let girls in, without requiring them to claim to be boys. Libtards continue to win the culture war, by attrition. The Republican party continues to be worthless (in no small part due to common Republicans being brainwashed by Zionist neocons).

Then why in the hell did we have to do panty raids on the girl scouts when bivouacking?

I think they may be rebranding themselves into an overall youth group and not just a boys camping club

Why did it take this long for heterosexuals to finally realize that males and females have to work together to have happy lives and get things done? We have been led for so long by so stupid and ignorant "leaders" to segregate ourselves and to hate each other. If a person is heterosexual, he or she must spend his or her life in relationships with the other sex. If you are a male who is heterosexual, go find, love, support a female person. If you are a female who is heterosexual, you go do the same thing with a male heterosexual person.
What the Scouts here are doing is trying to heal this division between males and females. So good for them. So many people are caught up in some bizarre thing involving women, and involving LGBT people, which makes no sense.
Good for the Boy Scouts. Such a wonderful thing to acknowledge that we are all on this earth together and we all march into the future together.

It sounds good on paper, as long as the boys don't take over and dominate like they do everywhere else. I don't see anything wrong with Boy Scouts and Girl Scouts. Just doing things together for big confabs sounds fine, though.

I don't believe anyone would have a problem with the two scouts getting together for certain events, meetings etc. I am sure they have been doing that for years.
Putting them together all the time is just nuts.
All a part of the emasculation of our youth. Schools have been doing this now for over a decade. And what do we have? A generation of boys that don't know how to be men. Spineless, weak little whiners that make terrible fathers. Horrendous work ethics, have no idea what sweat equity is...can't drive a nail, probably never even used a hammer in their lives.

As someone said above...count on it...there will come a day when children are discouraged to call boys - boys and girls - girls. Sounds ridiculous now, but not half as ridiculous as 4 year old boys whose parents are considering hormone treatments because their pre-schooler wants to be a girl...you think 10 years ago this would happen????

 

[Lysistrata]

There is nothing "nuts" about it. These people will have work together all of their lives, particularly when they have children. Teaching children to respect each other and cooperate with each other is of fundamental importance to society.
What the hell is this about "emasculation of our youth?" All these kids will grow up to be adults, barring accident. What is to be taught to boys that cannot be taught in a shared setting?
I know a guy from Sweden, where they don't have the kind of "cowboy" swaggering and cursing BS that we have here. He is well-mannered, well-read, helpful, modest, and a successful professional, husband, and father, approaching 70. He isn't into being a drama queen, like so many American men. I hope that you are not planning on teaching our boys to be the kind of spoiled drama queens who run around carrying guns and swearing and demanding things from others and bitching when they don't get their way. We have enough clowns in this country as it is.

Change always affects the older folk most severely. I understand that and make allowances for it. Just as the Boys Club has turned into the Boys and Girls Club so will the scouting program.

unfortunately the Scouts accept tax money in aide to fund them, therefore they are subject to the hateful lefts demands for ekwality
