    5-W's please. Or just post link? Doubt that it represents everyone, just one loud person/group, same as everything else on the interwebs that seems to get attention.

    Boy Scouts officially allowed girls to join the ranks as of today. Standby, I'll pull some links.

    Basically on every news outlet right now. Simple google search should yield thousands of results.

    And what is the point of this thread?

    Gays and lesbians are allowed in the military now and women are entering combat roles.

    If this doesn’t affect you why comment or be concerned about it? If you have a son in the Boy Scouts and he asks why, tell him it’s the 21st century and the morals and life skills the BSA teaches would benefit girls as much as boys and that the days of mommy barefoot in the kitchen are over.

    And I posted a link for @ecoterragaia since he asked.

    I was a Boy Scout (made Eagle Scout), but I don't have nearly enough knowledge of what the Girl Scouts do as an organization to offer an informed (shocking I know :D) opinion. Times change, who is to say this is a bad thing?

    I believe we already had a thread on this a long while ago when it was first announced. I don't remember it going all that well. :locked: it down.

    Don’t know, don’t care. Start a movement if it concerns you that much.

    To sell cookies.

    First question we asked was were we going to be able to sell the cookies now. Answer was no. Girl Scouts will not allow boys into their ranks nor their cookie sales.

    ...and “we” are expecting to develop all interested youth to follow the Scout Law and to become leaders.

    Indeed, females will become Eagle Scouts, soon.

    This starts in Cub Scouts June 1, Boy Scouts Jun 1, 2019.

    Females are also “permitted” to do anything in the military, as well as the work place.

    If you care that girls are now invited to “Scouts of America”, then you should care that there’s still a “Girl Scouts”. You can’t have your cake and eat it too.

    Girl Scouts weren’t too happy I saw in the news a while back. Seems like a move to increase their membership. Smart business tactic IMO.
