Yes, I fully support Boy Scouts allowing Girls
No, I think it's a terrible idea because Boy Scouts are meant for BOYS ONLY!
I don't really know which side to choose.

I really want to know what people think regarding this issue. Being an Eagle Scout, I'm a little upset about this change but I want to see what others think.
BTW: for those who are unaware the Boy Scout organization already has 3 co-ed programs.

Honestly, being a former girl scout I believe that it is a bit senseless. There are already co ed scouting programs. But, if the boy scouts wanted to be inclusive of the male identifying members of the lgbtq community I fully support that. But, when I was still a scout, I remember it being a big issue that the boy scouts did not want to include some of these people, at least not in leadership roles. But at the time , girl scouts did. I remember distinctly having a cookie booth outside a walmart for about four hours when it was only about twenty degrees outside and an older gentleman , instead of politely ignoring us, had to tell us the reason he could not support us is that we ..in his own words...supported the gays. That long, seemingly senseless rant aside, a large portion of the girl scout organization is female empowerment and showing that there is so much we don't need the boys for. It kind of defeats that purpose when we're now deciding the girls can't start a fire or pitch a tent on their own, isn't it?
