I don't understand why the venturing program was not changed to match the Boy Scout program. Hey already are coed.

Why not improve the girl scouts instead of destroy the boy scouts? Also, it's Boy Scouts of AMERICA not other countries in the world scouts. I really don't care how other liberal countries do it. They got it wrong and that is why we left 200+ years ago. If they do it your way over there, go join them.
Because GSA leaders are not willing to adjust. Even in BSA's Venturing program it's tough to find female leaders who like to camp and do high adventure in near the same numbers as male leaders. It's a constant challenge. As these young ladies age and have girls in the organization that will become less of a challenge because they will enjoy the outdoors with them.

Originally posted by DRT View PostGirl Scouts is not equivalent. That's like the separate but equal crud in education for blacks and whites of the past. It wasn't, it didn't work and it was over ruled and changed as it should have been. They are two different organizations with separate goals and programs.
I am talking about Boy Scouts / Girl Scouts; now I have never been in the Girl Scouts so I don't know much about them, but as I stated earlier; if they want to do the same thing as the boys do, so be it, I don't have a problem with it.
think of it as segregation or what ever if you want to, but in this case it's o.k. by me.

Originally posted by DRT View PostSo girls can't be trained in leadership, community involvement, outdoor skill, survival, cooking, camping, hiking, swimming, horseback riding, shooting, archery . . . etc? What is the problem with the young ladies being treated as equals?
Or is this a matter of "separate but equal" for gender instead of race?

I like tradition. I like having archery season just for traditional archers. But wait, compounds are allowed. Well okay at least they are vertical bows. Now crossbows are allowed.
Well guess what? We still archery hunt with all three. One does not deprive the other. Did I like all the changes? Not at first. But I soon realized they didn't take anything from me when they allowed the others in my club.
However I know I'm out there teaching community service, character development, outdoor skills and leadership to young men and women in our community and I don't need your approval or endorsement.
