[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]*rolls eyes* GS was only founded because BS refused to include them.

They should take this as a win and become the Scouts or Scouts of America. GS can give BS some tips on running a better product line and BS can give GS tips on better merit badges.

Because the GS badges seriously suck. Childcare, needlecraft, sewing, and folk dancing, ffs?

+1  I hated the crafty sewing activities as a Girl Scout.  My older child is a Boy Scout now, and I'm happy to have my little girl join as a "family scout" when she's old enough.  I'm in scouting for the nature stuff, not the home ec stuff.[/quote]

I have been a girl scout leader for four years now, and my troop has literally never sewed a single thing. To the extent we "craft," it's more like building bird houses and planting native species gardens.[/quote]

Same.  And in fact, I keep asking for them to learn how to do sewing, and I may send my daughter to a summer camp here if they don't do it:  https://www.sewmagarbo.com/.  Because I think sewing is a good, practical skill everyone should have, male or female, similar to the pp who said her Eagle Scout husband knows how to sew.  Sewing s a well-respected part of the maker community.  [/quote]
