So why would you (or anyone else) deny any of those fine things to another young person just because they are female?

Why are they denied? The girl scouts exist, and if that organisation doesn't provide such, ask why not and do something about it.

When I was in the scouts I was at an age when I disliked girls and would not have wanted to be in any voluntary organisation with them.

Now that girls are allowed in the boy scouts, it's inevitable that "boyness" will be discouraged so as not to offend their delicate sensibilities.

This is just part of the current anti male political agenda, when all "maleness" must be swept away.

The agenda is already well under way, and "maleness" is under assault on all fronts in the west. PC is winning.

I'll defer to you on that one as I am ignorant of them organizationally and assumed they held the same mission. But as there IS a girl guides I just think it's stinks but so many things stink in the US these days we should not be surprised. Why isn't NFL open to women?  tennis?  soccer?  for true equality merge them ALL. 

I agree. Merge them all, but make females conform to male standards in previously male organisations rather than reduce standards to allow females to "win".

I'm sure male prisoners will be delighted to have some female cell companions.

You think that is more likely than the fact that the BSA’s loosing membership in droves over the last couple of decades and needs to expand their base?

 

 

I think you are correct, but I find it puzzling why girls would like to join a failing organisation.

If they can't attract boys, they should be addressing that problem and dealing with that, rather than throwing the baby out with the bathwater.
