This really isn’t new. One of the people I go to college with her daughter has been in Boy Scouts for a while because she thought Girl Scouts was boring. Scouts has practical lessons that all people can find useful regardless of gender.

it isn’t a big deal really. I actually like that it is all girl instead of mixed because girls and boys act differently when the other gender is present.

Why not ask the Girls Scouts to add the things they are interested in...? Or is that just a cookie company now?

Hi, I am a moron, so I say something stupid now.

Boys like their own spaces just as much as girls do.

I worked as an IT teacher for elementary school kids while I was studying and the boys loved to have a male teacher doing male stuff with them. And I was pretty much the only male teacher they have ever seen.

Boys have their whole lives to cope with women, at home, at school, everywhere.

Leave them their own space, if you want girls to learn something about nature and survival create your own thing, but leave something for the boys.

If the boys want, they can join you, if they don't well, who cares. But taking away their space to create new groups within their space is just spiteful.

When I was in Boy Scouts in the early 80s all we did was play floor hockey. And it was glorious.

So a bunch of racist white TERFS taking spaces from black and disabled bodies.

Way to go bitches.

I wonder how this is going to go over with the lawyers since the Girl Scouts have sued the Boy Scouts.

Is there a difference between what girl scouts and boy scouts do?

 

[GeekyDad]

Wouldn't those just be...girl scouts?

Iam stil lwaiting for the famous "Transgender Scouts"

Girl scouts sell cookies.

Boy scouts learn skills

Why aren't they letting girl scouts learn skills instead of allowing girls to be boy scouts

In England we have the Scouts for boys and Guides for girls, and we just went to the same camp grounds together, to do 90% of the same activities when I was a Scout 20+ years ago, and from some of my inlaws, who are troop leaders, the same is true today.

Frankly the idea that the actual children or anyone running these groups think this bollocks is a good idea, and not just confusing the hell out of everyone, seems ludicrous to me. All I can imagine is going on here is middle class parents weaponising their children for woke points.

Bingo. I’ve done a lot of volunteer work for children, and many times the boys learned better from men, as they would pay more attention. Same thing for girls and women. This isn’t to say the other shouldn’t be involved in raising children, but it is stifling education with the complete absence of a same sex parental figure

I’m all for this, hell I may have even gone to scouts if there were hot girls there!

Should of just gone to sea cadets then....

Boy scouts is the name of the organization, and girl scouts is the name of a different organization.

That’s a whole lot of sea men.

 

[ManofOne]

So they're girl scouts.

 

[diffusionx]

Boys should be able to have their own spaces to interact with each other.

So Girl Scouts?

Do you know what actually happens at Girl Scout meetings? Sandwich crafting is unfortunately lacking (a skill all could afford to spare the world the injustice of soggy bread)

You mostly just glue shit together, team build, and sell cookies once a year, it could use a revamp

 

[Grinchy]

And if anyone starts a boys-only Boy Scouts (you know, what it was for decades) it's problematic and misogynistic.

It's just more proof that any space that is female-only is ok and any space that is male-only has to change. And people call that equality. A store that specializes in buying and selling used baby clothes can legally get away with hiring only women. A place that does oil changes who tried to hire only men would get sued.

All girl group good.
All boy group bad.
