[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Please keep your girls out of Cub Scouts. It’s not fair to the boys.

OP what are you doing to improve the Girl Scout option?[/quote]

How is it not fair to the boys that girls are joining an organization that allows girls?[/quote]

BSA family here. The boys are fine. They are in boy-specific groups that occasionally interact with the girls. It’s the occasional parent who wants “boys to be boys,” but the kids themselves don’t seem to care.

And why should we support segregating? Isn’t it our responsibility to teach children how to interact with others? It’s 2023.

Oh sure. As though they don’t have every other opportunity to interact.

Agree with PP. Cub Scouts is for boys.  OP keep shopping until you find or can create an acceptable Daisy troop. [/quote]
I'm so tired of all this new boy mom drama. Why are moms of boys all of the sudden jealous of girls? NOPE LADY. BSA IS ACTUALLY FOR BOYS AND GIRLS, that's why they changed the name. YOUR ORGANIZATION is the one WHO CHOSE to include girls. If you don't like it,  YOU LEAVE. You can't tell girls not to join and that they're not welcome when BSA rules specifically say they are welcome, and they are forming girls only dens. Sorry you are telling your little boys that they are victims now that girls are welcome in the troops, but if you are really that upset about it then COMPLAIN TO THE ORGANIZATION, don't tell families their girls can't join. They can and will join. They're allowed to.

I had a friend tell me that having girls in BSA meant that “boys can’t be boys.” Sounds good to me. Boys MUST learn to interact appropriately with girls. If there’s something they shouldn’t be doing around a girl, perhaps they shouldn’t be doing it at all.

For those who think girls shouldn’t be in BSA, you’re sending the message that girls are somehow inferior. As the mother of two girls, one in BSA, I refuse to allow anyone to tell my child she is somehow “less than.” We tried Girl Scouts. The activities didn’t catch her interest. BSA does.[/quote]

So your little snowflakes “interests” are more important than an organization designed to let boys be boys. Got it. [/quote]

There are a limited number of co-ed activities. Otherwise, dens are sex-segregated. [/quote]
