With BSA Ditching the 'Boy' from Boy Scouts, Trail Life USA Offers Traditional Alternative

[@user-zd6kq6fz9l]

We love Trail Life! As a mom, it’s wonderful to have men teaching these boys, which they don’t really have in school or Sunday school. Boys need both men and women speaking into their lives. Praise God for Trail Life!!!!

Boy scout of America here, and I'm sorry we failed you. 1980's to 90's, we had to deal with a lot. People abusing the program to fast track their kids to military service. Using the program to go tax exempt. And woman protest bhtch groups attacking us . . It was tradition in my family to be a Scout. All my church was Scouts. But 90's, Two women wanted their daughter to be a 12 and a half year old eagle scout. They both went to the military for jail.. . I (Crow Bar) didn't mind a girl being in boy scouts. I wish i would have put up a bigger fight.. I'm Sorry. . I was a cub in 1981. Fried Ham🫡

I know girls wanted to be included it makes me sad to see what they did to the boyscouts how about make the girl scouts better instead

[@CatholicTraditional]

The Girl Scouts became pro abortion back in the early ‘90s. Once I learned that some of the cookie 🍪 $$$ was going to PP, I stopped buying. This might be one of the reasons for co-ed/div. BSA, as the BSA remained socially conservative until 2013. The ironic thing is that historically, Cub Scout den mothers had to actually be mothers originally. The Sea Scouts became co-ed in the ‘70’s. The Venturing/Exploring high adventure program for ages 14-21 was created to be co-ed.

I just hope they do good background checks of the adults. The BSA had problems there. Sad reality these days.

[@iMatti00]

It has nothing to do with “these days“. Only thing with the current day is now there’s not so much shame that kids will speak out. Plus social media spreads the story far and wide. I wouldn’t be surprised if they don’t do background checks, if they just trust in God to handle it. And if a boy is molested and doesn’t immediately feel secure in reporting it, my guess is he would be less likely to report it because he would feel like he committed a sin.

This is a market that will continue to grow. So many kids have nothing to do now and none of them play outside.

[@mattr.1887]

Why didn't you join the girl scout

[@Silly_27]

​@thetruthhurts131 The Boy Scouts and Girl Scout program are both very different. From what little I know, girl scouts just sell cookies, make crafts, and learn how to be good citizens. Those are all good things but not at all as fun as boy scouts(in my opinion). In Boy Scouts, you go camping learn survival skill. There's lots of challenging merit badges to earn. And of course there's the achievement of making Eagle scout rank. I just feel like overall Boy Scouts is more challenging and rewarding than anything in Girl Scouts.

[@deathrowy2k]

​@@Silly_27 Boys deserve male only spaces. They're starting to become very few of those. When females get involved it disrupts a lot of aspects, boys and men act different around girls and women, especially today they can get in trouble even if they don't do anything wrong, with the possibility of jail time, firings or internet ridicule. If they want to change girl scouts to be more like boy scouts than let them do that, leave boy scouts alone.

[@TwinFalls88]

@LOCKIE455 Nowadays boys can be nurses, stay at home dads, and nurturing and caring. Girls can grow up to be soldiers, construction workers, and politicians, businesswomen etc. So it kinda de-necessitates the rigid roles indoctrinated by separating them. Also. Is it not HEALTHY for the sexes to mingle and work together, for friendships and comradery from early age ? Prepares them for later family life, when they become fathers and husbands with wifes & daughters. But nobody is saying "Trails" has to do that. They're a private Org. Can do what they want which is fine. My opinion is just that Scouts is superior is all.
