I think the two separate groups have been dying a slow death for 20 years. I think this is more about having enough boys OR girls to remain a viable organization.

It has nothing to do with gender equality. It has everything to do with pre-emptively avoiding the "My child is a trans-gender and boy scouts is not allowing my boy to be a girl, or my girl to be a boy" thing. It's 3D chess. They thought this would be a way to avoid the whole tranny boy scout issue. Everyone just "assumes" the boy is a girl. So, a girl who wants to be a boy can join and no one would have an issue. Or a boy who decides he wants to be a girl can be a girl in the boy scouts.

Are you serious? BSA should be for hetero boys. No homos No girls No freaks. I was in the Cub Scouts. Didn't stay with it when I could be in the Boy Scouts. Boy Scouts gets a lot of pressure from outside forces, LGBT-agenda liberals. If they didn't, they would remain the same. |

In spite of all of the bad press in the past years, I was actually quite excited about getting my son into scouting. Until now. I don't have a problem with him being around girls. I encourage it. But, it hurts my heart to see one of the few remaining boys' clubs being turned into a co-ed clusterfuck. I suppose I have a few years to really make up my mind about him being involved, but this certainly doesn't help.
Bad move, BSA. Bad move. |

I'm a bit torn on this. The Girl Scouts is totally lame, and if I had a daughter I would be saddened that she wouldn't have the opportunities I had in the Boy Scouts. On the other hand, I suspect strongly that this will practically destroy the organization.

Quote HistoryQuoted:
That maybe over thinking it. I prefer the more simpler reason of needing more bodies to offset the loss of mormons so that revenue does not dive worse than it has been. It's much tougher to find bodies from the traditional pool of recruits, so they expanded it. You need to understand that the BSA and it's councils own a significant amount of property that requires maintenance, taxes, and other expenses to be paid. Because of this, their fixed monthly costs are high without counting variable costs. You also need to know that councils have been selling property at times in order to meet expenses. They usually sell property that was donated and don't have any restrictions in the deed, or restrictions have expired. There also has been consolidations of councils to prevent one from bankruptcy. Bodies generate revenue, the more the better. Regardless of whether they have mental issues, queers, or equally queerish parents, or of the opposite sex. I think they will get a short-term fix, but then accelerate the spiral down. |

I'm not a fan of this, but I still LOL at everyone who posted without reading the press release. Let's see what it actually says:
Starting in the 2018 program year, families can choose to sign up their sons and daughters for Cub Scouts. Existing packs may choose to establish a new girl pack, establish a pack that consists of girl dens and boy dens or remain an all-boy pack. Cub Scout dens will be single-gender — all boys or all girls.
Using the same curriculum as the Boy Scouts program, the organization will also deliver a program for older girls, which will be announced in 2018 and projected to be available in 2019, that will enable them to earn the Eagle Scout rank. This unique approach allows the organization to maintain the integrity of the single gender model while also meeting the needs of today’s families. For Boy Scout Troops, they say they intend to keep Boy Scout Troops female-free (for now at least). If a sponsoring organization wants girls in Boy Scouts, then they can form a second Girls' Troop (for lack of a better name right now) that does its own thing. Whether they will share a Troop Committee is something else entirely. I'm not very happy about this. They claim to do it because recruiting is down, but I believe BSA HQ is getting lots of pressure from its corporate donors to let girls in. The District Executive in our Council had a meeting with us two months ago, and one comment he made was, "You know, the only 3 countries that don't let girls into Boy Scout Troops are Pakistan, Saudi Arabia, and the USA," so they have their SJW talking points. My primary concerns are (1) rank/merit badge standards being weakened or loosened because the new parents who have no Scouting history think they are too hard, and (2) more SJW infecting the tenets of Scouting, like changing the Scout Oath/Law to reflect diversity, inclusivity, social justice, etc. I mean, if they let GIRLS into Cub Scouting and Boy Scouting, everything is on the table, right? |

They were both on a Venture Crew, and had quite the adventure. Wouldnt want to be Scoutmaster when sally gets pregnant after the SPL goes ball deep on her at summer camp. My boys would enjoy the mile swim with a bunch of gals in bikinis. This is a Scoutmasters nightmare |

It sounds like they going to create a "Scouts for Girls" sort of program, what the girl scouts should of been. While having integrated packs but segregated Dens on the Cub Scout side of things
