> ah yes Boyscouts, before they decided that just simply changing the girl scouts was to hard for them
@ThiccSpicyGenderRevealParty The change wasn't nearly as dramatic as most people think. I'll address your first claim that they should've just "changed the Girl Scouts". The Girl Scouts are a completely different organization with a bunch of people at the top getting rich as heck. There aren't people getting rich off of Boy Scouts. There are people who are employees of BSA, but they're for the most part just enough to make a decent living. In Girl Scouts, the majority of money from their fundraisers went to higher ups, not the troop, in Boy Scouts, the majority of the money goes straight back into the program (This is why I try not to buy Girl Scout Cookies, I'm supporting some rich dude more than the troop itself). Now that we've established that they're two different organizations, I would like to explain the reasoning for the decision, and what exactly it entailed. One thing that most people can agree on is that Girl Scouts has deteriorated. They don't do rigorous camp outs like they used to anymore. And they're only getting worse. Boy Scouts on the other hand has many extremely rigorous backpacking trips. Many girls wanted the opportunity to do this things too, and they didn't want to wait until they were old enough to do Venturing Scouts, and Venturing is EXTREMELY rigorous. So they made the decision to create seperate Girl Troops. I will admit, when I first heard about it I was upset, but us in the Boy Troops have almost zero interaction with the girl troops. It didn't mess up the young men mentality in the troops, not at all. Even at national events and Order of the Arrow, there have been girls for years and years due to Venturing. If they tried to put girls in the same troop, I would be mad. If they allowed us to share campsites, I would be mad. But so far, all that has happened is they provided a better alternative to girls interested in Scouting.
