[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My daughter is in an all girls troop for Boy Scouts and loves it
[b]It’s very welcoming.  It’s not at all like Girl Scouts.[/b]  We are in virginia[/quote]

Well that's rude. I've found girl scouts to be very welcoming. We allow LBGTQ+ individuals to join, after all.[/quote]

Yes, and atheists too. They're not pushing a Christian agenda nor charging ridiculous dues to pay for their legal fees for past child sexual abuse.

Girl Scouts is hands down the cheapest and possibly easiest activity your girl can do. The troop generates all its money from cookie sales. Most parents don't participate in any of the events. The curriculum is empowering and forward-thinking. Win-win all around.[/quote]

Well the Catholic and Morman churches have left scouting, plenty  of non-Christian troops remain and LBGTQ+  kids are also included in Scouts.  Parent participation is really important to maintain the safety standard of the organization so not issues with that.[/quote]

The Mormon Church has formally withdrawn from BSA although many Mormons still participate. I know of a number of Catholic Chartered Troops and have not heard anything about the Catholic Church withdrawing it's connections/support with BSA. There are a lot of non-religious or less religious Packs and Troops.There are religious Troops and Packs whose leadership has written book on Gay acceptance. Packs and Troops really are reflections of the individual unit. It is one of the reasons that Webelos are encouraged to visit lots of Troops in their area before they bridge over and find a Troop that fits them best.[/quote]
