Not in Girl Scouts, from what I found on google. Did I miss something?

Yea I saw on their sight it says "Girl Scouts provides a space just for girls, in which they are free to explore their interests and take the lead without the distractions or pressures that can be found in a coed environment" so why are girls allowed in BSA should it not be the same

Well, those are certainly all words, placed next to each other.

Nope. Not anymore. This cannot stand.

Only the Mormons have real, genuine Boy Scouting now. If that’s what your son wants, you will need to join a LDS church troop.

Boy Scouts of America are rebranding.

It will be called "Scouting America" starting on February 8, 2025 - the 115th anniversary of the organization.

"This announcement also comes as the organization celebrates the fifth anniversary of welcoming girls into Cub Scouting and Scouts BSA programs. Scouting America currently serves more than 176,000 girls and young women across all programs, including over 6,000 who have earned the rank of Eagle Scout. "

The Boy Scouts only opened their org up to girls because they were losing members and they're trying to attract families who want their kids in the same org, not two different ones. Which is fine. There are still dens that are just boys.

Girls need places where they can just be girls and not have to have boys in the mix. They have to compete with boys all the time. Let them have something that is theirs. I'm fine with the boys having their own things too.

What used to be called “boy scouts of America” is now co-ed and has changed its name to Scouts-BSA.

Why then, can’t boys join Girl Scouts ?

This idea that everything must be open to everyone is really ridiculous.

Too bad. This is about forced capitulation. And the GSA must be coerced into admitting boys, or be disbanded. Period.

Except that we’ve made sure boys don’t have their own spaces.

Therefore, neither should girls.

Both must now suffer for their parent’s agendas.

This is so not an issue. No boy ever wanted to join Girl Scouts. If they identify as a girl, they can join. Easy.

Interesting thought experiment about how/whether enrollment would change if they called it Feminist Scouts or Female Empowering Scouts…..

This! They only allowed girls for financial reasons.

It's the same reason boy can't go to an all girls school.

TLR. Boy Scouts of America became coed for their own reasons, primarily for dropping participation numbers therefore they needed to open to girls to survive. Girl Scouts is not in that situation, and is a separate private organization, so is not pursuing that.

This idea that everything must be open to everyone is really ridiculous. Are you complaining that your neurotypical child can't compete in the Special Olympics? Why not? People with intellectual disabilities can participate in standard sports teams. Isn't it a double standard and exclusive? (Obviously I'm being sarcastic, but my point stands that not every thing is meant for everybody and that's okay).

Agree, but

Try organizing two private classes for kids; name one “Coding for Girls,” and the other “Coding for Boys.”

Let us know how that turns out (although I think we all know the answer, if we are honest).

Former Girl Scout leader's child molestation sentence
A former Kennesaw Girl Scout leader is sentenced to prison for aggravated sexual battery and child molestation. A Cobb County jury found Allison Wean guilty on all counts Friday afternoon. The victim was a member of her Girl Scout troop.
