Be the change. Fix GSA, don't try to change Boy Scouts.[/quote]

At this point, I've kind of lost the plot of your argument.

Again -- GIRL SCOUTS are not trying to change.   We are pretty happy the way we are as far as I know (except a lot of us don't like the official program and try to make it more interesting, etc.)

But we are not the ones sending our girls to join Cub Scouts.  And we don't have a bunch of little boys desperate to join Girl Scouts either.   (For better or for worse... I wish we had a program boys really liked and were attracted to, but as it stands, we don't... again, unless we leaders kind of go rogue and do it ourselves....)
  
ON THE OTHER HAND apparently Cub Scouts requires families to be involved in Cubbing.   So moms, dads and siblings are often involved in pack activities.   And it is THESE parents (siblings etc) who see the Cub Scout program and are thinking, that's a great program -- it'd be great if our girls could do it too....

So there's no particular reason to "fix girl scouts".

Why not "fix Cub Scouts"?   Stop requiring families to be involved.   Stop allowing siblings to come along.   Change your program so it's more boring and no one wants to join?[/quote]
