The Catholic Committee has had issues with the Girl Scouts since they were open to all girls and did not discriminate. In addition, they taught the girls to be critical thinkers and independent. Both of my daughters are beneficiaries of the GSA program. The Boy Scouts will likely subordinate the girls' programs to those of the boys making the program more reflective of the desires of the bishops and other similar "thinkers" who believe women should be subordinated to men.
