It's unfair that they are so binary. They need to be inclusive of the gender fluid individuals. Roll Eyes

Suddenly my son is anxious to attend his last year of camp, with the hope of earning the Kayaking merit badge with a 16-year old hottie.

Oh my...

Isn't that what the Girl Scouts were for?

Why must we all be the same when we are different?

Although, I must say, I might have been much more into scouting if I could have had a female tent-mate-ranger-buddy.

Good luck Sir, I know you can handle it.

Ok this is nuts...

I love Scouts. But these are the kinds of things that are going to bring my participation to an end.

"Gender Fluid" exactly.

God forbid there be an organization that is just for young boys and men any longer.

I am an Eagle Scout and I think this is a foolish overly PC move. I would also oppose a change to allow boys in the girl scouts.

The explorer program has been co-ed for along time now, but I guess that was not good enough for the SJW crowd.

Just my fed up $0.02,

Mike (Eagle Scout)

Has Harvey Weinstein applied for Scoutmaster yet?



"Some things are apparent. Where government moves in, community retreats, civil society disintegrates and our ability to control our own destiny atrophies. The result is: families under siege; war in the streets; unapologetic expropriation of property; the precipitous decline of the rule of law; the rapid rise of corruption; the loss of civility and the triumph of deceit. The result is a debased, debauched culture which finds moral depravity entertaining and virtue contemptible."

Sounds like he is more interested in motorboating than kayaking Big Grin

Stand by for every boy scout to undergo sensitivity training...

I'm so glad I teach my son all he needs to know about the outdoors.

I'm going to apologize for not reading the whole article first.

The link says that dens will remain single sex.

So I back off a bit.

I'm actively involved with my son's den and I'm glad this little announcement came out after we wrapped up our popcorn sales this year. So many people in our community support the Scouts and most of our dens are affiliated with Churches. One more 'gender fluid' issue would not help us.

Agreed. Feels like they are just turning up the SJW heat slowly so we don't all jump out at once.
