Now many women have full time jobs just like men do, and nowadays women have pretty much any job in the military open to them as well. The boy scouts program was originally started to prepare children to have a jump start on becoming a part of the military. 

Why wouldn't you want the people defending your country to learn as many skills as possible while they're growing up, whether it's a female or a male soldier?

I mean it seems silly to me to get upset over this. If a little girl would rather learn how to tie some knots and go camping instead of sewing and selling some cookies, then so be it. I think it should work both ways and boys should be able to join the girlscouts if they for some reason wanted to as well. 

Who really cares? As long as your kid is out there learning, being social, and happy, why should it bother you? 

I am not sure how a girl being in the scouts negatively affects anyone. It only seems like a positive thing unless you're just afraid that women as equals somehow effects your masculinity.

It's quite funny to watch girls, who have now grown up in the "You can be anything and have it all" world of 3rd Wave Feminism, more and more choose to be married, home schooling, stay at home mothers. Almost as much fun as watching the miserable old crone Feminists attack them for their choice. The world is changing again, right in front of our eyes.
