Women- did you ever want to be a Cub Scout?

Post Reply New Topic

I was in Girl Scouts, but it didn't seem nearly as cool as Boy Scouts. My Grandpa is really into Boy Scouting and all of my boy cousins have been to at least one world or national jamboree with him. My Girl Scout troop broke up and reformed again over some ADD girl the leader didn't want in it. I thought that was totally unfair, so I never became a Cadet. My sister joined a Venture Scout troop, that's Boy Scouts for teenagers, boy or girl, but I was too old by a year. All my cousins are Eagle Scouts and I feel so bad not being like them. My Grandpa had a blanket made for him for christmas and it had patches from all the families, but ours were Girl Scout patches since I only have a sister. I always feel bad for my dad not having any boys, especially because of the scouting. My Grandpa thinks that the world would end as we know it if girls were allowed to join the Cub Scouts in the US. Apparently the major supporter here, the LDS church, would have to have a major overhaul of their young men's program, which revolves around Scouting.
