It's in the politics section, where everyone has an opinion on somethingThis thread exploded! Im impressed.
........ You do realize it's the choice of the private organization to include girls, right?Boy Scouts shouldn't have to do this. They are a PRIVATE ORGANIZATION, NOT A GOVERNMENT ONE! Its is called Boy Scouts. Whether or not such groups are to allow the inclusion of atheist, agnostic(which I am personally) or non-heterosexual kids is up to their administration/higher-ups, not the federal government! Girl Scouts and other lesser organizations did it without major government pressure on them.

except it was broke... reread the article, dude.So what was so wrong with the Girl Scouts program to where BSA caved in to allow for such a change? That's what I want to know. If it ain't broke, don't fix it.

They're two different programs, there's no reason not to include other genders in the two programs. In boy scouts specifically, you learn a lot of survival-related skills, whereas girl scouts, from what I understand, is more focused towards salesmanship and organizationSo what was so wrong with the Girl Scouts program to where BSA caved in to allow for such a change?

Agreed on the STEM part as well, although it was up-and-coming when I was a member so I can't say much as to what it is nowApparently the programs and activities are substantially different. I've never been a scout. But people who know more about the scouts have claimed that the girl scouts offer more in the way of artistic and communal activities and are substantially lighter in terms of STEM fields. The boy scouts apparently offers more STEM activities.
Though I don't know if this is the primary reason girls want to join boy scouts. Possibly the activities have SOME factor in it, or maybe they just want to hang out with boys more than girls.
No it wasn't broken. You clearly are coming off as a fucking radical progressive. The BSA were fine as-is. The Girl Scouts eventually allowed Lesbian females and then also transsexual girls without being picked on by many Democrats and Ruth Ginsberg(the latter of whom I have no love for).except it was broke... reread the article, dude.
What? Care to explain what you mean without the frothing rage?This is Stupid. Just another example of how cancerous society is right now because of a few weak pieces of shit..
So apparently the girl scouts are suing the boy scouts over this in an amusing twist

Damned if you do, damned if you don't.
Hungary doesn't even separate Boy Scouts and Girl Scouts.
