Taking the Boy out of Boy Scouts

Oh boy. This hasn’t already been discussed.

Do your homework...

BSA needed to make the decision to include girls due to decline in enrolling boys.

They are all for it.

We're you a boy scout? Are your sons scouts? Why do you care?

Take this thread and your 22 posts to the PoliBoard.

What sucks is that in my attempt to hire only guys and avoid all the problems women bring to the office, I might accidentally hire some broad whose name is "Chris" and lists "Eagle Scout" as an achievement.

The ‘Scouts’ are just an opening for pedofiles anyway.

As a boy in the boy scouts you should be able to talk about yourself in front of your own sex. If there are members of the opposite sex there it makes it harder to talk about emotions and they end up internalizing them

So... the Scouting BSA is not co-ed. Girls are allowed to have their own troops. No one is sharing their feelings with the opposite sex unless they join Venture Scouts, Explorers, or Crew (all divisions of bsa for 14 years old or older and have been co-ed for 40 years).

Even the young cub scouts which may allow girls (it is up to the charter organization), the dens are still no co-ed. Again, no child is sharing his feelings in front of the opposite sex.

The media and Internet like to blow things out of proportion.

The organization is still the Boy Scouts of America. The group of 11-18 year Olds that called themselves Boy Scouts are now going to be involved in Scouting BSA (because there will be all-girl, not-co-ed troops who will be permitted to earn the same ranks and achievements).

Think "separate but equal".
Anyone who says otherwise is lieing.

Did you seriously just imply that the worst thing about letting girls in the boy scouts is that boys won't be able to talk about their feelings?

I'm so pissed that I'm going to beat my wife and kick my dog.
