Apparently, there are now all-girl troops in the Boy Scouts...no boys allowed...

It really looks like a case of, "We want what you have but you can't have what we have!"
Really seems equal there.

Believe it or not, I brought this post back from the dead to discuss the girl's taking over and kicking boys out of Boy Scout Troops......... not to discuss Zorba's disdain of the obviously superior automatic transmission..

Well, when the word spreads that the Girl Scouts monetarily support Planned Parenthood, their cookie sales may drop like a rock does into the gravity well of a black hole. They're just grasping at anything to stay afloat.

Simple solution. If you do not like it, do not put your children in it. My boys will never be Boy Scouts. For many reasons including this. I don’t understand all the bitchin and still putting your boys in. Who cares what it was. It is what it is that matters. Loss of revenue says more than any amount of internet bitchin.
Apparently free thought is punished, and conformity is required, while peckerless cowards run the show.
that's terrible and I certainly wish it had not happened. I don't know when that was, but I do know that leaders molesting boys is, or at least was, something that BSA has had to deal with for years.
One of the basic tenets of leader training is two deep leadership. That is, never have one boy and one leader alone together. Either have more than one boy, or more than one leader. Obviously this tenet was ignored in this case.
When I was with BSA, it was a great organization. Now, I don't know what it is. My youngest son, who is an Eagle scout, is 34 years old, so I don't have to worry about him. I do have a 5 year old grandson, though. I don't know if I will encourage him to join scouts, though.

Gun control laws make about as much sense as taking ex-lax to cure a cough.
I made it through a year or so of cub scouts, before figuring out that the den mothers were conspiring to teach me to bake cookies and learn the piano. Both are useful pastimes, but I wanted camp-outs, weapons, and cryptography, and you had to get a lot of cookie-making badges to ever get to that point. At least, that was my attitude in about 1959.
The spiffy cub scout uniform was very effective, for picking up girls. It was similar to the kid's cavalry uniform, on Rin-Tin-Tin, except for the striped beany cap. However, I had not yet figured out how to proceed, after 'winning them over' with feats of strength on the monkey bars and foot-racing prowess.

I was going to mention this, but you beat me to it. I wonder how long it will be before the "new" Boy Scouts will be somehow contributing to PP as well.

But I'm fine with with the GS, or anybody else for that matter, supporting PP - although perhaps I fail to see an obvious reason as to why. Isn't GS supposed to "do" activities for girls? Yes, I can see some/many of the girls needing PP at some point in their lives, but don't really see the "why" of a GS/PP connection...

The anti-American Democrats will stop at nothing until every American tradition and old fashioned values are deemed racist and offensive.
That has been their mission for a very long time. Once they destroy a country's history and traditions, molding it into something else is not that hard. The Boy Scouts have a tradition of promoting self-reliance and individualism, which the left abhors.
