<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Kentucky, post: 1659047, member: 33176&quot;]I usually agree with 100% of thngs you post, but I have to take an exception to this one.&nbsp; Females did not have to be allowed in the Boy Scouts.&nbsp; This was a decision made by the organization itself.&nbsp; As to why the decision was made, I can see two possibilities, they wanted more money or they wanted to be more inclusive.&nbsp; The Boy Scouts is not open to all girls, and not all of the Boy Scouts is open to any girls.&nbsp; Girls over the age of 14 may get into Venture Scouts (which includes Sea Scouts), but the organization is closed to all other girls and all other parts of the Boy Scouts organization is closed to girls or any age.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>Your point about girls sometimes being allowed to compete with boys in sports, but rarely the other way around calls to mind the increased muscularity (in general, not in specific - particularly if you look at me) of men over women.&nbsp; Women competing in men&#039;s sports are giving away a lot of advantage, while men competing in womens sports have a lot of advantage often.&nbsp; That being said, as kids, they should be allowed to compete on an equal basis.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>Now I don&#039;t think I will buy the coin because it just doesn&#039;t appeal to me.&nbsp; I have two daughters who were both Girl Scouts and achieved their Silver and Gold Awards.&nbsp; I was co-leader of the troop for two years.&nbsp; I was given this as a recognition token.</p><p>[ATTACH]243902.vB[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
