I've never heard anyone define what's wrong with the girl scout program (unless you really, really hate to sell cookies). I know people who are in the girl scout program now & have been in the past; no complaints I'm aware of.  They camp, they go on field trips, they work on badges, they learn to interact with the world around them, they talk about girl stuff, & how to grow up to be a strong woman with goals and dreams. Surely that isn't problematic. In fact, Girl Scouts are pretty ticked off at this move by BSA.

I really don't comprehend any parent who puts their daughter into a Boy Scout troop (I read the other day that it's easier to have all your kids in one group instead of different ones, but that's a lazy parent reason for doing it). If parents actually understand why the troops have been single gender all these years & the value of it, they wouldn't do it. But somehow I think a lot of parents either don't care to look that deeply or think their girls are no different than boys
