After 108 years, the Boy Scouts program is set to drop the gender from its name and re-emerge as "Scouts BSA," a more "inclusive" group that will also soon welcome girls in its ranks.and...
The program will have separate units for boys and girls, which Surbaugh said should alleviate concerns that girls joining the new program might be at a disadvantage in seeking leadership roles.
The Girl Scouts said their organization was blindsided by the move and are planning an aggressive campaign to ramp up recruitment numbers
The Girls Scouts are justifiably alarmed.
We know a lot about the Girls Scouts. Our mom was a big exec with the Girl Scouts and ran a summer camp for a couple of years. She took us to the camp and by 1988 we were a camp counselor there. This was our summer job till graduation in 1992.
That logo is part of our childhood scenery
The camp was full of little girls so there was a ton of arts and crafts. But there was also sports, orienteering, basic survival skills, overnight camping trips and the like. We're trying to say Girl Scouts were about a lot more than selling delicious cookies*.
The Girl Scouts were a feminist organization. Now hold on, when we say feminist, we mean First Wave 'Votes for Women' feminist. We mean girls can do things for themselves feminists. No the Second Wave man-hating kind. Ok, in the late 80's and early 90's one got a bit of the Mary Tyler Moore vibe and we recall a few short haired, stubble legged lesbians running around the joint, but overall this was a very girl-positive and neutral organization.
By going unisex as the gender-benders demand, the Boy Scouts have ensured the destruction of the Girl Scouts. They've instantly branded the Girls Scouts an arts and crafts, unicorn fairy and friendship bracelet club for girls who want to be BFFs forever or until that two face Darby spills the beans on her secret friendship with Mackenzie and Madison.
The girls who want to learn about the outdoors, and sailing, and shooting and Native American lore, well, they're joining the rebranded Scouts. The Girls Scouts? Well they'll be getting boys in drag and other assorted weirdos.
Well done feminists, homosexuals, trannies and general weirdos.

Leftists, we hope the gender bending was worth it.
*The camp had a closet full of them. Two cookies at 3 PM snack time plus a cup of bug juice.
