it's good... but so behind the times!

i was the first female Venture Scout in our London area (followed by 2 others—i'd organised the push for girls to be allowed to join the previously male-only group of 16+s) and that was almost 50 years ago

Hell, if girls had been allowed maybe my Boy Scout group wouldn’t have folded

A lot more guys would want to be in the Scouts



God forbid if I would ever volunteer to chaperone. No wait! Kind of did that at a summer camp

All good !!!

Hell!! Great idea more moms and dads would sign up to help!!

Not a bad move, imho. Even back in the dawn of time when I was in high school, it was referred to as "scouting" not "Boy Scouts".

Most memorable scouting memory: I once got on a plane in Salt Lake City to return home from a business trip. About 100 passengers were also aboard, boys returning from their pilgrimage to Philmont Scout Ranch, the "Ranger School" of scouting. None of these kids had had a shower or bathed in two weeks. The amount of teen body odor on that plane was unbelievable.

Fake News!

…because unless there’s a pic of a POC, or a trans child, or, better yet, a trans child of color then, of course, it’s of no interest. Fake news!

^^^Fake news as well

I don’t think this is a breaking story. We have friends with 11 year old twins, boy and girl, who have been in scouts together for a number of years.

They've been talking about doing this officially for years and years. I'm shocked it took this long to pull the trigger.

That's nice. What does that have to do with the official name change, a.k.a. the story?

You Deplorables really have reading comprehension issues.

I get it. You’re pissed the rebranding doesn’t include a swastika.

Fun anecdote that just happened. A friend posted this link on FB. An ex's mother replied, "Nothing is sacred anymore." I reminded her that she used to cheat on her husband with randoms she brought home from the bar while he was out of town.

No need for anyone to add to your revolting defense of Hamas and hatred of Jewish people.

Remember all the way back to last week when they cried that we called them Nazis? Good times.

 

[Rotadom]

your revolting defense of Hamas and hatred of Jewish people.

When you sober up, please link us to Rory doing either of those.

You are the one who was looking forward to wearing your armband. But then again, your guy dropped out of the race.

It’s okay though.


Hahah, such a funny joke you made- projecting your passion onto others.

 

[RoryN]

Cite plz.

We'll wait. (And this will get bumped - and included in other areas you post.)

 

[dkovic77]

You will wait a while.. he’s trying on his armband.

Yes I do. I think BabyBoomer50s is just acting out today, as petulant children are wont to do.
