[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The girl who is trying to make scouts coed wants to be an Eagle Scout.

Why don't the Girl Scouts work to create a similarly rigorous and comprehensive elite scouting achievement like Eagle that the girls start working towards as Junior scouts?

If they have one they do not publicize or promote it very well. I do not remember one when I was a Girl Scout (through 7th grade).  The only thing Girl Scouts publicize and promote well is cookies, and perhaps that is where the problem lies.[/quote]

To continue with this, if you ask a random person on the street to give three words about Girl Scouts, they would probably say cookies, crafts and (maybe) lots of rules.

If you did the same thing with Boy Scouts, they would probaboy say Eagle Scouts, camping and either pinewood derby or those cute Cub Scout uniforms.

I don't think that Girl Scouts has evolved to match where today's girls' interests have evolved. Perhaps there needs to be a more rigorous new scouting group for girls, or perhaps girl scouts needs to evolve to fit the times.  A new organization can grow quickly if there is interest. Look at Trail Life Boys. [/quote]
