What do you think of Boy Scouts allowing girls to join?

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.

You can only vote on one answer.

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.

I’m an Eagle Scout too and was lucky enough to be in a troop where we averaged around 5 eagles each year

As far as letting girls join, I don’t think it’s going to be a big issue. Because there’s already venture scouting which is co-rec, I think it’s just going to be similar to that where a couple tomboys join here and there. It’s not as if Girl Scouts and Boy Scouts have merged.

Furthermore, this is just from experience, but I found a large amount of scouts in my troop and other troops I interacted with were pretty socially awkward. I think if boys ages 11-15 (primary scout ages) interact with girls their age, they can prepare better for social adulthood.
