[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Long time Scoutmaster of a Scouts BSA all-girl Troop in the District here.  Beginning our fifth year of program, we have had bunches of young women experience very positive outdoor adventures and program with us and with the local Cub Scouts organizations in the District that feed their members to us.  I don't know much about GSUSA, but what I do know from years of experience is that the existing Scouts BSA program works splendidly for girls.  The BSA program is standardized, meaning that anyone who joins one of our groups will indeed experience a set number of experiences -- rather than whatever is decided by troop leadership.  This means that everyone goes outside, camps, and engages in rigorous forward-looking activities.  You will know what you are getting when you associate with a BSA group.  I think it is great to have many youth service organizations to choose from, but Scouts BSA, Cub Scouts, Venturers and Sea Scouts (all BSA programs available in the DMV) work very well for [b]females[/b].    No organization has a perfect history, and BSA has had major warts.  However, the going-forward vision of BSA and the opportunity it offers girls and boys is indeed brilliant.  I invite your family to consider BSA programming and compare what is available to other fine offerings and choose what is best for you.[/quote]
