[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Please start your own GS tropp, rather than join BSA.  Let's take a look, shall we:  they abuse boys and move molesters around the country, cover-up the assaults, and when about to go bankrupt, come up with an idea to allow girls (the 50% they've excluded for decades, and fortunately, spared from the abuse).

The GS troop is 100% leader dependant.  Get a good one and you are golden - my daughter started as a daisy and ended as a caddette, earning her gold award.  Why not be a part of the solution?[/quote]

Totally agree. Plus all of the girl Boy Scouts I know say they’re sort of a second thought. I’m sure that’s not universal, but it’s the total opposite of what scouting should be.[/quote]

It's tough if there's already a GS troop available but it's toxic. They won't let you start a new troop if there's space available in a local one. So you are stuck with traveling to find a new troop (so all the friends your kid makes aren't local, not to mention the added time involved), or you go to a local Boy Scout troop that welcomes girls.

Ask me how I know![/quote]

You were given incorrect information.  If you have three adults willing to work with the troop (two leaders and a money manager) you can always start a new troop. [/quote]
