Both the Girl Scouts and the Boy Scouts of America have lost their way and forgotten their mission was to engage young people in an outdoor life, self sufficiency and to build character, skills, scholarship and good citizenship. The poor used to be equal with the rich in scouting but that is no longer the case once the outside agitators became involved. It is a real shame and young boys have nowhere to go. Probably why the NRA youth groups are growing because scouting turned its back on these kids. The trend seems to be the destruction of all male-oriented spaces and activities. First it was allowing girls into the Boy's Clubs of America, then allowing girls on to boys sports teams, now boy scouts, next up is college frats getting disbanded. Also I have zero problem with women joining the NRA and learning to shoot. I know many women who carry every day and are passionate about firearms and the 2A, but what's going on here is ridiculous. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Add girls, another 50% of child/youth population, and you get a 100% growth in the base of available children/youth to bolster their failing enrollment. It’s been my point all along... it is more likely this move is to save their falling enrollment than some sort of corporate political correctness. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably why the NRA youth groups are growing because scouting turned its back on these kids. As a BSA volunteer adult leader in the 80's - 90's, I know the decission is purely based on budget. Positions: Eagle Scout, Cubmaster, Scoutmaster, District, Council, Woodbadge, and National Day Camp Certifications. The BSA has been holding strong against this decission for a long time. Especially after the Girl Scouts allowed lesbians to become Girl Scout Leaders for monetary funding. The BSA was very vocal in their commitment to not allow gay men to become leaders at that time. Everything in committee meetings, scouting events, fundraising, and decission making was determined by budget. It is a business run by paid Scouting Professionals who get volunteers to do all the work. Great times some great friends but it got way too political for me and the deeper I got sucked in for my time and financially subsidizing events etc... Sad to see it's long tradition, pride, and benefits to young men go down the drain. Sad to say goodbye but I needed my sanity back. By the,way, the BSA had the coed Explorers program for high school age youth where both could earn the Eagle Scout award. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly. It is well publicized that BSA has made this change because existing enrollments were ruinously LOW. It is NOT about PC. Yet the "anti-PC" reactionaries are still freaking out, hurling alt-right misogynist hate speech slurs, as if it was motivated by so called PC. Typical. I will add again, although I was never enrolled in BSA because I don't fancy camping (no comments please), I think it would have been better to keep it all male. The leadership likely does to, but again, the change was made because they NEEDED to do it. Edited May 4, 2018 by Jingthing 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Another right wing lie. Girl Scouts of the USA issued a warning to parents this holiday season, asking them to think twice before forcing their daughters to hug relatives at gatherings. “Think of it this way, telling your child that she owes someone a hug either just because she hasn’t seen this person in a while or because they gave her a gift can set the stage for her questioning whether she ‘owes’ another person any type of physical affection when they have bought her dinner or done something else seemingly nice for her later in life,” reads the post on the Girl Scouts’ website. https://abcnews.go.com/Lifestyle/girl-scouts-force-kids-hug-relatives-holiday-season/story?id=51275036 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess you probably do not have a problem with the Left's use of "toxic masculinity"? Boys are being shamed (and medicated) because they are too boisterous. Back on topic. The Girl Scouts are refusing to admit boys, although there are probably some boys who would prefer to be doing the stuff that the girls do. 6 hours ago, Jingthing said: Made up? Huh? In any case, the information I provided about the use of "soy boy" as a slur by the misogynist alt-right movement reflects FACTS that can easily be found on hundreds of other links. Maybe he meant "made up" as praise.

Your arguments are weak. Otherwise you wouldn't need to bring Alex Jones in just to pin everything on him and run away with your tail between your legs. This has nothing to do with Alex Jones or his conspiracies, which ironically you're bringing him up out of nowhere only makes YOU look crazy and everything to do with your poor arguments or lack thereof. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

johnray Posted May 4, 2018 Share Posted May 4, 2018 (edited) Why not just 'child soldier training center'. Not as catchy. It is ironic that the feminism movement has been hijacked and marched off to war. Rather than becoming neutral less manly men and more manly women; we just have the same old thing but now women with short hair marching to war. A desperate attempt by our dictators to steer humans into having something to die for rather than something to live for.

55Jay Posted May 4, 2018 Share Posted May 4, 2018 Fair point to Jingthing, the Scouts (et al) have been in decline for years, and the moves they've made in recent years are an effort to halt and, hopefully, reverse that trend. If you alienate parents with ever sharpening liberal political and social views, and they use their kids as boycott tools to signal their adult beliefs and virtues, that's a lot of warm bodies. If you alienate conservative parents and they do the same, that's also lost warm bodies. This is about the adults involved, not the kids. BSA is pressured from both sides and was forced to make a business decision. We'll see if it works. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
