Yeah, where is this shit going to stop? Is nothing sacred?
Next thing you know they will be letting gays in the military and tearing down historical statues! Heck, they may even reduce the severity of the crime for knowingly exposing a partner to aids. Boy Scouts was a big deal for me growing up until I hit fourteen then lost interest. Who knows, I may have stayed interested if they would have had girls. |

Consider your idiot source. If you aren't some fart-sniffing academic in his world, you're just some drooling waste of space.
I was never in scouts but I have a couple of good friends who are and the skills they've learned are invaluable if you're just doing basic, routine maintenance on things. My best friend got his Eagle rank and he's handy as hell to have around if I'm building something or maintaining equipment. Juvenile, sheltered dipshits like Cosmo have no concept of the value of being able to work on something yourself.

So I guess no one in this thread actually read the OP, let alone the article, and jumped straight to anti-PC panic, huh? They are admitting girls into CUB SCOUTS. Cub Scouts is over by, what, the second grade? Oh, BTW, cub scout packs will be able to decide for themselves whether they want any girls dens or not.
They are offering a completely separate program for girls to become Eagle Scouts. As an Eagle Scout myself, I think this is ****ing great. I know and have known plenty of girls that would have loved to experience some of what I got to going through scouting. For the most part, Girl Scouts is little more than a cookie racket. Boy Scouts was life shaping for me. When I heard this news it about made my day. |

Well I don't know when or where that was, but my sister and wife both were in Girls Scouts. My sister quit cause she didn't want to exclusively work on arts and crafts and my wife hadn't been on a camping trip of any kind till I took her on one last year.

I completely agree with that. I'm pretty disconnected from their efforts over the last 15 years or so other than what has made the news. That said, I think anything that attracts new members is a good thing.

Camp Nash, 10 degrees, mild winds...
"1st one that starts a fire, without matches, that burns a string gets a hot breakfast with the scout leaders..." What the ****? We get cereal and they get bacon and eggs? Screw scouting after that exercise...I quit, and did. Wait! Does that mean there are female scoutmasters too??? Back-lighting the scoutmaster's tent may be more fun than it used to be.
