[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Because the ACLU and other liberal groups decided to attack only the boy scouts and destroy it.  Girls scouts are small potatoes compared to BSA.   Ergo, we have a weird historical development[/quote]

LOL no, not at all. Girls were clamoring to officially join Boy Scouts back in the 90s when I was going through the program. Lots of sisters of fellow Boy Scouts would attend like 90% of our events, participate, but were not allowed to earn any of the badges or ranks.

Boy Scouts changed to "Scouts" because out of self-preservation. The organization was in its death throes after the child abuse settlement with victims.

The Mormon Church decided to pull out of Boy Scouts when it was clear the organization needed more independent oversight and their boys composed something like 25% of all Boy Scouts in the U.S.

Admitting girls and changing the name to "Scouts" was just capitalism in action. You need to broaden your customer base to save a failing business. [/quote]
