sad post.  So many good things come from girl and boy scouts.  But you only are fixated on the negative.  IF you are a feminist I hope you dont think this was a win for you.  we are not the same, we are in fact different.  Girls at that age are "generally" better listeners, work better as a team so I have noticed through coaching.  This could have been a opportunity to do the same curriculum and show girls are as good if not better at anything at that age than boys.  What is sad to me was you won but it was still not enough.  Be careful Ms. Bishop I feel you may be becoming what you loathe the most.  a truly greedy human being.
