Pfff, Ptolomey made incest cool. All based on a misinterpretation of Ancient Egyptian law.

Boy Scouts is a brotherhood, more or less. It's NOT gay unless you make it that way.

Well, my group isn't in the boy scouts. We're the Knights of the Holy Temple. Though, one could argue that it's the "Catholic Boy Scouts"

And in Britain they started letting us use an alternative promise with no reference to God at all.

What?

Postby Drescauld » Thu Oct 12, 2017 8:11 am

Uhhhhh... maybe i'm mistaken but i thought they were BOY scouts for a reason. Just as much so as Girl Scouts are GIRL scouts. Am i missing? if sex doesn't matter why not just call them scouts and combine the programs? Or is this some type of female supremacy/superiority thing?

They do virtually everything the Boy Scouts do and more, and allow girls to join as well. Why not simple expand or promote that program? What is the point of accepting girls into the explicitly-named Boy Scouts when a program already exists, and is functionally quite well, that is co-ed?

To expand the Venture program to Cub Scout ages would be sensible if that is the goal here-but instead it's just been decided to put girls into the main program, if in segregated troops. Why? What's the purpose? It's ridiculous in light of the plainly apparent other options.

Get girls in Scouting-absolutely. But we already have a system for that, and that's what the focus should be on here.

so if there is a program where girls can do scout stuff then what is the point of the new rule? and by not make the GSA do scout stuff?

As an Eagle scout, this is politically motivated leftist bullshit. The only people this will effect will b the children of activist parents who will get shoved into the program to make zir parents look virtuous and boundary pushing on social media
