“The values of Scouting—trustworthy, loyal, helpful, kind, brave and reverent, for example—are important for both young men and women,” said Chief Scout Executive Michael Surbaugh in a statement. “We strive to bring what our organization does best—developing character and leadership for young people—to as many families and youth as possible as we help shape the next generation of leaders.”

“Trump Youth?” :lamo
Whichever. It will just be a lot cozier around the camp fires now. A female scout would do a great job of keeping your sleeping bag nice & warm at night.
"But girls can't go camping! They like tea parties and Barbies!"
:lol:
This will add a new dimension to women's lib & scouting both together. I wonder if they will add an 'unwanted teen pregnancy' merit badge? I'll bet all the boys will work a lot harder to make Eagle Scout now.
Didn't think there was anything wrong with having both Boy's and Girl scouts? Why the need for a change?

There wouldn’t be if they offered the same activities.

what's missing?
More collateral damage from our overly sensitive PC world.
Will they all wear brown shirts?“Trump Youth?” :lamo
Well, at a high level, the girl scouts still promote traditional gender roles and feminity above all else. Some of the merit badges are just cringe-worthy. The boys have stuff like canoeing, chemistry, backpacking, astronomy, etc. The girls get pretty fingernails, babysitting, and arranging flowers.
So I guess that will be the death of the Girl Scouts and the Boy Scouts? Yes? For what is the need if all can join and be recognized as "Scouts". Everyone is equal. Girls and boys alike. No special treatment for either gender. On primitive camping scenarios no special bathrooms for either. No special shower facilities for either. No special aids for either. They are now will be recognized as They and Them no more gender separation as in he or she. The death of gender recognition. Marvelous!
Something so innocent to allow boys and girls to gather together in their own gender is no longer allowed. Way to go you political correct morons.

So now boys can get these badges to? Or are they removing these categories from girls? Why couldn't they have removed them and add canoeing, camping, backpacking, astronomy to the girls arsenal of badges? Again, why the need to conjoin them?
