Our troop is 200+ and managing the separate girl troop was not as hard as you think.
well, I don’t care - our troop leaders don’t want to deal with the girls, the priest at the church was fine with it (the church holds the charter), and I think it’s great that our troop goes out and does boy stuff together with just boys

Although at district events - the council favors the girls

At camporee last year a girl squealed bc there was a snake in the boat - she and the other Girl Scouts wouldn’t go near the boat until the snake was gone - my oldest son got it out the boat

That’s Boy Scout material?

I don’t like it bc it sets a precedent that girls can do anything boys can do - and in many respects we can - but we need more MEN not women that can do male things

I’ve seen boys run away screaming from the same thing. I’ve also seen boys harass and mistreat the girls running the camp store. Is that Boy Scout material? FAIL is an acronym, first attempt in learning. The kids need to have the coaching and mentoring the program offers. We need to step up and provide it no matter the sex.

Unfortunately most of these people complaining were not putting their boys in the program. You can’t bitch and complain about the program changing when it was not supported in a sustainable way. If it was still running like it was years ago, they wouldn’t need girls to keep it going. These older families failed it, now we are going to keep it going.

My man, just remember the Scout Oath & Law

Re-read much of what you type……..

Ftr, our girl troop (separate from boys - this isn’t co-Ed) members are quite impressive. And, I know many MEN who squeal at snakes.
