re: Boy Scouts to change name after allowing girls to join

Interesting.
The charter for the girl scout troop which has my 2 daughters has a clause that they can't profit from the sale.
They may be able to pay recharter fees. But they don't use the money for field trips (it might be their interpretation of profit). One year, they bought supplies for the humane society. One year, they hosted an event for an all girl teen orphanage. A couple of years, they have partnered with the county senior center.
It sounds like that activity is based on the troops leadership.
The girls have hosted 1 cookie contest at the senior center. But all of the cookies were prepared at home with moms or dads in their own free time. For being an all girl organization, it focuses a ton on leadership and service (maybe from the perspective of a girl.
I don't sit in the meetings) . Not so much on doing "girl" things. The most exciting stuff done by my girls are not permitted for cub scouts (under 11) like canoeing on their own or doing the ropes course. But it eats them up that at 12 years old, they still can't build a fire (despite having done so at cub scout family camping for 7 years).

Sounds like your daughters have a great troop. That is awesome.
One thing I've learned about GSUSA - and this thread validates it - is that there is a wide, wide variety from troop to troop, from area to area. There is a complete and utter lack of a consistent program.
Part of that may be by design - if you look at their programs, they seem to want to be all things to all people. You can join a troop. You can not join a troop. You can just go to camp. But when you have so many different options, you tend to lack a clear and consistent focus.
In our area, it's clear that district leadership is a huge issue. The district leader is also one of the troop leaders that are terrible. So clearly, since she runs her troop in an awful way, and if she is the one responsible for other area troops... they are going to also be run terribly.
In fact, my wife (no pics) actually contacted the local council last year and expressed interest in starting a troop (because we are so unsatisfied with our options) and was basically told there was "no need to start a new troop, since the current ones are not full." She basically told them there was a reason for that... but since the local district leader supposedly makes the call, she said no to a new troop.
