    Here’s the thing: This is total bullshit.

    Chartering organizations like churches have the option to create a boys troop, a girl’s troop, or two separate. Completely at their discretion. If they want a boys only space they can have one. This is just macho posturing that is going to have a major effect on turning a lot of youth even more against this administration

      Yep. So very true. When you are looking at lists of troops, they are marked as to whether they have girls or not.

      But you know how butthurt the right wing authoritarians (RWAs) typically are. RWAs want to ruin things for EVERYONE. They cannot tolerate people doing their own thing.

    Can I go on the record here as saying this is sexist bullshit?

    Scouts letting girls in does not make them somehow not “boy-friendly”. It just lets dads and moms and brothers bring their daughters and sisters to do “boy-things”

    The scouts opened up due to falling enrollment. A business model that cuts out 50% of your availability demographic will never work. That’s why the girl scouts have cookies. Otherwise, they would have opened up to boys as well.
