Boy Scouts vs Girl Scouts
| Tue, 03-20-2007 - 1:17pm |
I have a ten year old niece who is a girl scout. We were talking about the 12 year old missing boy scout who was found earlier today(she's out of school for spring break). To my surprise, she exclaimed: "Why do they teach boy scouts wilderness survival skills while girl scouts learn how to sell cookies and make arts and crafts?" I was speechless. I told her that it didn't make sense to me either to which she replied: "That is discrimination." I agreed. I then told her that we should create a new organization for girls. We're trying to come up with a name for it ; )
I was just wondering what you guys thought about this? Is it discrimination? Why aren't they taking girl scouts camping?? It's 2007 people.

Bluebirds is the youngest level, right, like Brownies for the Girl Scouts? Man, it's been a long time. I was such a geek, I actually stayed in CFG all the way through high school and even did the "Wohelo Medallion" (the CFG equivalent of the Eagle Scout)! I was also a camp counselor at a CFG day camp during a summer or two--teaching canoeing and things like that. I guess the universe must have been preparing me for living out in Seattle even though the thought I'd live out here never crossed my mind, ha!

That is so funny. I won 1st prize in a cake decorating contest with my dad for the bluebirds. I still have the award. Too Funny.
Well yeah I didn't stay in it very long I don't think. Definitely not past grammar school.
But the Boys & Girl's club is where I went all summer long so I am sure that's how I got hooked up with Campfire.

Actually, the youngest girl scouts are called Daisy Scouts now.
Oh, yeah, there's the Daisy Scouts, then the Brownies, then The Girl Scouts.
