[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]But can we all agree that it's a better organization than the Boy Scouts?  [/quote]

No.

I have boys in boy scouts (no daughters) but from what I see above, it doesn't sound better.    My sons have not experienced any pressure to sell things/fund raise.   There is a camping outing at least once a month.[/quote]

Popcorn anyone???  Mulch in the springtime??  Boy Scouts in this area are just as cash happy as the Girls Scouts.

Both scouting organizations are becoming tiresome with their fundraising.  I admit that I was a bit taken back a few evenings ago when the doorbell rang and I found a young girl scout out selling chocolates at 8 pm.  Yes, her mother was with her but really?  I even asked about the fundraiser as I was used to cookies in the late winter / spring.  The mother stated that the girl had to sell a certain amount of chocolates in the fall to even be considered to sell cookies in the winter.  What???  If that's true, that's absolutely crazy and a far, far cry from the scouting organizations in which I participated as a kid.
