There were nearly 1,000 young women in the inaugural class of female Eagle Scouts in 2021, including Selby Chipman. The all-girls troop she was a founding member of in her hometown of Oak Ridge, North Carolina, has grown from five girls to nearly 50, and she thinks the name change will encourage even more girls to realize they can join.

Here's the question that the media and others refuse to ask.

Why aren't girls joining the girl scouts?

One of the reasons why girls were allowed in Cub Scouts in the first place, was because of all the little sisters (and big sisters) hanging around at meetings, events, family campouts, etc. They were doing all the same stuff the boys were doing, but not getting any recognition.

Why weren't those girls joining girl scouts?

Because those girls want to do outdoor activities and there are not any in Girl Scouts.

Unfortunately, you cannot get mom’s to volunteer to go camping. They don’t want to be outside.

Unless you have at least 2 mom’s at every camp out - you can’t have any girls attend.

I see the dilemma and I feel bad for those rare girls who can’t participate in the activity they love (outdoors).

But the dumb part is to admit girls to Boy Scouts and destroy the organization so that no one can develop character and enjoy outdoor independence.

I hate it all. A great program ruined with an emotional response.
