Is it true that girls can join the Boy Scouts but boys cannot join the Girl Scouts?

Who cares? The historical boy scouts and getting eagle scouts is meaningful. You can get congratulation letters from house, senate even the possibly of the president of the united state of America elected officers and use those letters as meaningful endorsement for yourself going into college, military services and all around job opportunities equal to an additional 2 grade point average. Only way to turn a 4.0 gpa into 6.0.

The gold star for girl scouts just dosen't care the same weight as an eagle scouts. Even though they are just as deep into our community. Taking care of disabled veterans, having meaningful connections with others that otherwise could not. Still getting a that gold star and colleges, job opportunities, average people still don't know what that is. That just shows how we all take for granted half the population by default.

@naultd Well if you want to relate it to education then lets make sure girls can join Fraternities and boys can join Sororities. 🙄🤣😂

[genericname85]

yes. there are litterally no "male exclusive" areas in society. however there are countless "female exclusive" areas in our society... because apparently we live in a patriarchy? makes no sense if you ask me.

[Daniela1982]

The same as in sports. Girls can play in boy's football but boys can't play in girl's sports. However I did see a girls' basketball game what had a boy on it. That guy looked like he could fly the way he made baskets. And of course, that team won.

@Kelley1 welcome to new world 🤣

Do your "due diligence".

Don't ask us.

Our answers, in a sense, are "hearsay".

So, instead, you go to the source and discover what they say about themselves.

Go to the Girl Scouts website and find out what their admission requirements are. Then, do the same thing at the Boy Scouts website.

This is what the Girl Scouts say...

What is Girl Scouts' position on serving transgender youth?

Girl Scouts is proud to be the premiere leadership organization for girls in the country. Placement of transgender youth is handled on a case-by-case basis, with the welfare and best interests of the child and the members of the troop/group in question a top priority. That said, if the child is recognized by the family and school/community as a girl and lives culturally as a girl, then Girl Scouts is an organization that can serve her in a setting that is both emotionally and physically safe.

How does Girl Scouts' position on serving transgender youth apply to situations involving camping or volunteers?

These situations are rare and are considered individually with the best interests of all families in mind. Should any girl requiring special accommodations wish to camp, GSUSA recommends that the local council makes similar accommodation that schools across the country follow in regard to changing, sleeping arrangements, and other travel-related activities. With respect to volunteers, Girl Scouts welcomes both male and female adult volunteers and has developed appropriate safeguards regarding roles and responsibilities to ensure that girls receive the proper supervision and support.

I'm not certain about Girl Scouts. But boys can join the Sunflower Girls. That's been the case for over 50 years at least.

Peter was a Sunflower Girl

[Daniela1982]

Never heard of them. Are they like the Brownies or Cub Scouts?

[supercutebutt]

@Daniela1982 They were a Brady Bunch sort of thing. :)

[Daniela1982]

😯 Marcia, Marcia!

[Jennz6]

@supercutebutt funny

[Smashingdoozy]

Boy scouts has changed to Scouts BSA giving girls the opportunity to join and learn the same skills the boys are. They're different organisations so the other doesn't have to follow suit if they don't want to

[Daniela1982]

But BSA stands for Boy Scouts of America. WTF?

[Smashingdoozy]

@Daniela1982 it's just a way to show it's the same program but now a different name.

[Daniela1982]

Well, I guess when the boys go skinny dipping the girls will have to go too then, and use the same bathrooms at camp. 😂🤣

[Smashingdoozy]

@Daniela1982 I can't imagine being so closed minded. Whats it like? Is your life as miserable as its coming across?

[Daniela1982]

@Smashingdoozy, I'm not close minded. I just think if men, or women, want a club just for them they should be able to. At least I am not being woke like the rest of the world where everything is okay to do and people can be any sex they want to be and teach anything in schools they want to. Soon there will be no privacy at all and young girl's sleepovers must include guys to not to be woke.

[Smashingdoozy]

@Daniela1982 that's closed minded.

[Daniela1982]

It's not closed minded if it is actually happening. It is telling it like it is.

[Smashingdoozy]

@Daniela1982 it's seeing it from one very narrow perspective.

[Daniela1982]

You are entitled to your opinion and I am entitled to mine. No one is asking you to agree with me.

[EmmaMary]

In many ways it does appear to be somewhat sexist in that boys cannot join the Girl Guides/Scouts, yet girls must be allowed to join the Boy Scouts.

[Daniela1982]

@EmmaMary Someone in here would call you closed minded for saying that. 🙄😅

[Dargil]

Feminist misandry. Since the Rump Rangers and Carpet Munchers took over, Scouting has collapsed. I'm sure that is what both wanted. Backlash is coming.

[Sharkstealth]

I don't know that the girl scouts do anything that boys would want to join. I don't think many boys are jumping at the chance for bake sales and selling girl scout cookies. Now if we fast forward a bit there probably exists men who do.

[exitseven]

I believe that is true. I imagine there is a lawsuit already going through the courts to change this.

[electromagnetic]

You may have to call the scotting program and ask them.

[laly520]

been a one before

girls can join

boys as well

I remember having few boys join us before

[Surely]

With trans girls playing girl sports. If boys can’t join the Girl Scouts at the moment. Probably in the near future. It will happen!

[Jennz6]

@Surely I thought boys were already in the Girl Scouts?

[Daniela1982]

@Jennz6 Was news to me.

[Surely]

@Daniela1982 I think that i heard a few years ago that some girls wanted to join the Boy Scouts. But not the other way around. That was before the trannies came out!

[Jennz6]

Now days I guess we can because boys are joining the Girl Scouts

[Jamie05rhs]

A boy can easily join the Girl Scouts if he identifies as a girl.

[Anonymous]

China makes the rules. Liberals obey them.

[Wiredone]

Yes it is true. Case is still pending

[standardguy]

Why not all scouts sre together?

[KrakenAttackin]

Unfortunately this is true.

[Charliefretz329]

I joined the Girl Scouts…

[Daniela1982]

Why am I not surprised? 😂😅

[Charliefretz329]

My life is stranger than fiction…. 😂

I worked at a camp one summer in my teen years and actually had to join to get paid.

So Yeppers. Im a Girl Scout 😜

[Daniela1982]

I don't know if a camp counselor counts. 😯🤔

[Charliefretz329]

I just washed the dishes…

[Daniela1982]

I bet! You were probably using them as Frisbees.

[Charliefretz329]

No I wasn’t 😤. I’m a very professional dishwasher…

[Ms_Facesitter]

I hope not.

[Daniela1982]

@Ms_Facesitter Mcheetah was asking about you. Asked if you were still here.

[Ms_Facesitter]

I haven't heard that name in a while. How is he?
I hope he's learned to accept himself more and be less angry and harsh on himself and learned to look at the things he can change. Because the height, it's such a superficial thing. And I always found it sad that this demon he put in his head kept holding him back.

[Ms_Facesitter]

@Daniela1982 Tell him hi ^^

[Daniela1982]

There is truth in some of that I'm sure.

[Ms_Facesitter]

@Daniela1982 has he learned to accept himself?
:o

[Daniela1982]

@Ms_Facesitter You know better than that. 😅

[Ms_Facesitter]

@daniela1982 aw that doesn't sound good 😔
