re: Boy Scouts of America changing name to be more inclusive

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’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.
