Nice troll attempt

Not sure is serious or a troll, but I'm gonna ante up and see how this plays out.

Can I borrow her issued condom and go hang out with the moms at the spa?

In 4 years when she gets Eagle you can call me a troll

As a fellow Eagle, I'll give you a thumbs up when that happens.

He's not calling you a lier, he's calling you a troll. You posted something that you expect to be controversial just to see the reaction. You are a troll.

U have no idea what a troll is

The troop took a poll and 80% of the girls said they would rather join the Scouts bc they learn cool things

then why isn't Girls Scouts responding? or why isn't there a girls organization or parents of girls willing to step up to create that missing piece?

For some reason, probably just my fading memory, I thought boy scouts had to be 11 or older. Anyway, good luck to your daughter.

Tough to match the infrastructure structure BSA has built up over the years.

We bumped 10 Bears up to Weblos 1 Monday night. Wrapping up the ceremony we introduced the first girl that will join them in (in a seperate den) September. None of my parents are planning on quitting, and all the boys welcomed her to the group. Why, she's always been around the last 3 years anyway. We are an extremely active pack, particularly my den, so we will likely pick up numbers more than any loss. At the district level, the impact from the LDS issue will impact our unit numbers, but little to our overall number. We already have LDS leaders helping find landing spots for their boys.

Why do you have your daughter in such a lame GS Troop? And "polling" 8-9 y/o kids must be a hoot (and worthless)..

Cactus is exactly right.

You posted this to start a fight. You're a troll.

But that's cool you want to use your daughter to start an internet fight. Different parenting style or something I guess.

Put her in 4H or FFA and learn some real skills.

Eagle Scout at 14 years old. Nice try

I'm sending in my Eagle Scout and have two coworkers doing the same. Want no affiliation with this group. Scout Oath says "Morally straight" and they're handing out condoms. My boys won't be joining BSA

Why would you want your daughter to join a group of dorks?

You must not have a daughter!!

This thread is going to deliver!!!

Must be troll or you haven't read the new guidelines for girls joining Scouts.

Girls can join a current Cub Scout pack (1st grade through 5th grade aged) if the chartering organization (usually affiliated church or non-profit "sponsor") allows them to. Girls have to have separate "dens" from the boys, but can be under the leadership of the same pack.

Male Scout Troops (6th grade and older) will not have female components (aka patrols) integrated into the troop. Female Scout Troops be separate entities from the Male troops with separate leadership and only f the chartering organization "charters" the female Troop. At this time no one can force a chartering organization to start a female troop if they don't want to.

Totally separate from both Cubs and BSA Scouts, there are Venturing Scouts. Venturing Scout units are composed of male and female "crews" of 14 -20 years olds. They follow a co-ed program that has been around since 1969. The co-ed crews camp together.

When your daughter is 14 she can join a Venturing crew or when she is going into 6th grade she can find a new troop of female BSA Scouts.

Concerning the whole condoms thing...let me preface this by saying I'm Catholic and have 5 kids...

The World Scouting Jamboree event where these condoms are supposed to be made available is an event where Scouts from all over the world will attend.

Scout Troops from Europe and other countries are not male only. Almost all of these foreign Scout troops are co-ed with ages typically being older 14-20 year old individuals. The US equivalent would be Venturing Scouts. Evidently at previous World Scout Jamborrees held in other countries, there have been reports of fraternization amongst the ranks of some of the co-ed Scouts.

I have a two friends who will be volunteering as medical officers for the World Jamboree and the World Scouting Organization recommended that the medical tents have condoms available to try to lessen the chance of spread of STDs. This request freaked out the medical officers a bit because they are used to our American version of "Boy Scouting" working with middle and high school aged boys and NOT the World Version where high school and college aged males and females are camping together. Big difference.

Now BSA is getting even more bad press. Who knows where this foolishness from the BSA National leadership will end.

Preliminary design for the pregnancy merit badge.

Personally, I'm not a fan of the teal. I would have gone with a color with a little more contrast. Plus, I think it should be a more gender neutral color. Maybe an all inclusive rainbow design?
