they didn't have "girl scouts" in your town? And nobody chuckled when the girls got their "beaver" rank?

They are called "Brownies" perhaps in a messed up reference to the Nazi "Brownshirts".

Stupidity has no bounds. Leave it to the woke mob to screw things up like they do with everything they touch. What’s next, little boys in dresses selling cookies? 🙄

Just wait for the lawsuits when little Mary Beth comes home from camp pregnant.

Yeah....look at the complete disaster our country and world has become in less than 4 years thanks to "change"!!
Granted, it took, incrementally, over ~50 years to get here, but the decisions and the methodology is squarely unsound, to put it mildly.

Fact is, we're being dragged to our doom by smart people who are so evil and corrupt that what they do is considered idiotic because no one really can, or wants to, wrap their head around just how disgusting most of these people are, so it's stupid or dumb instead.

It's evil.

That's all. There's no love or peace to be had because every opportunity is being shutdown or ignored.

It's evil.

20 years ago I was in scouts.. with girls. I didn't see an issue then and I don't see an issue now. But you keep making it about something it isn't about.
Its not political correctness, it's just changing up the order of the system. As someone even pointed out, in some areas there isn't even a girl scouts foothold, ao what are girls supposed to do if they're interested in scouting?

A little bit before the time of the Nazi Brownshirt scum.

In 1915 Lord Baden Powell's sister Agnes suggested the name 'Brownies', who were helpful little creatures in a fairy story she loved. There were several variations of uniforms for the Brownies, of which Helen is wearing one.

The world spins.

Feelings get hurt.

The sky is blue.

And water is wet i suppose.

Such is life.

no doubt. who would have thought people on an online discussion site would state opinions on things happening in the world. Are they just stupid? Everyone knows you are just supposed to think and act like you do.

What part of Andys post said you weren't allowed an opinion?

Maybe you meant to reply to someone who goes 'DERP' or ' clown world' to opinions they disagree with.

in reality, it was his ass slapping on your post that I noticed.

Amazing isn't it.

How much it hurts certain peoples feelings that an organisation that has boy and girl members is changing its name to not include the word boy.

So does it hurt your feelings that we have an opinion? Some even have an opinion that differs from yours. Amazing, isn't it. DERP

Back in my day, if the gals wanted to join Scouts the name would have been changed to, "Camping with girls who have boobs".

Just beating the drum and stirring the pot on my end.

A bit of the old devil's advocate and all that jazz.

As to ass slapping.

Think that would probably constitute a hate crime where i hail from in this day of age.

quite obviously they should make enough noise so the Boy scouts capitulate to their whims, change their name, inclusivity rules, and the part where the group is for young boys. I mean, you even stated that there was a group for girls, but you seem to not understand that part.

This is what happens when you change the order. You get what you want right this second, like a spoiled little child, but then you realize you made a mistake.

"Miss Swanson" always reminded me of the "The Undertaker" from WWE.

It's Macho Man Randy Savage.

Ah right.

That makes more sense i suppose.

Scouting America is way too patriotic and/or creepy.

They’ll have to change it yet again to keep up with the times.

As of course, they are a’changin.

What is happening is an institution caving in to some perceived wrong they are perpetuating by having their name be what it is, what it has been. That, folks, is wrong. There's no common sense element to any of this, no financial consideration (costs be damned); there is nothing more than social knee-jerk response.

It's not that complex. Girls want to camp and do cool sh1t like the boys.

They can't.

They're girls.

They need to make cookies and sandwiches for the boys.

Fun Fact : Back in the 1930's the Girl Scouts taught all the traditional Feminine Tasks as well as camping and survival skills and marksmanship to ensure the girls would be well rounded and better Wives when they eventually got married.

But if you want to insist on ensuring women are weak and serville and only suited for sammiches because it's less threatening, you do you.

You get what you pay for.

Protip : Girl Scout Cookies aren't made by Girl Scouts, they're industrial byproducts and hard as a rock.



(I know you're razzin' and I'm just razzin' back, no hard feelings, lol.)

So, start a Girl Scout troop, it’s not that complex🤷‍♂️

I'm pretty sure you aren't aware of this, so let me spell it out for you, Girl Scouts these days are focused on little more than their precious Cookie Sales. It's insulting.
