I was outside frequently and my first experiences as a kid riding horses, learning archery, shooting air rifles, woodworking, and stargazing were with my Junior Girl Scout troop. I ALSO did arts and crafts, volunteer work, and held leadership positions in my troop. Every troop is different, and girls/parents can build/find the troop that fits them.

Plus many hated it because the richest parents kids were always mean to everyone. One time a parent bought tons of her own kids cookies so she would be the top seller. Another paid for a website and hired someone to run the site and deliver the cookies.

  • I'm a female and was both a cub scout and a girl scout all the way back in the later 80s/early 90s. My dad was the cub scout leader of my brother's troop, and with a name like Bobbie, there weren't any questions from Administration. When I got older, I had to switch to girl scouts. My brother went on to become an Eagle Scout, and I can personally attest to Boy Scouts having far greater value. Boy scouts have camping, survival, knife skills, rope tying, etc. I kid you not that when I switched to girl scouts, my troop was working on arts and crafts, makeup and hair badges. Seriously?! I've become a successful professional without once using any of the things my girl scout troop "taught". If I could do it all over again, I would have switched to Explorer Scouts instead!

    • I wish I had known about the Explorers when I was younger. My dad was a scout and taught me fishing, camping, and how to build a fire (and then some). I was always sad that I couldn't join the boy scouts because of my genger even though I was better than the eagle scouts at archery. Now that I have a son, though, and no father for him, I am looking forward to getting him involved with other boys so that he has that male comradery that he can't get at home.. I honestly think girl scouts just needs to step up their game. I don't think I would mind the segregation as much if we did the same kind of cool stuff the boy scouts do

    • Why do you have to choose between things like Arts, Crafts and make up. do you not think that those things are not of value because they are. Yes other things should be taught like computer skills, finances, and self defense as well but i had many sleep over with my daughter and her friends and you would be surprise how many girls don't know how to comb there own hair, bake, and know how to do wear make up correctly. The arts and craft came in hand because it was teaching them sharing and caring, when some couldn't do a craft we help them. That something today's women forget "helping" not back stabbing or bitting.

    • I think that this has less to do with location and more to do with leadership and programming. IMHO, the GSUSA Guide books and Journey books are highly gender-stereotyped (especially at the Daisy, Brownie and Junior levels) and highly slanted toward Capitalist (especially at the Cadette, Senior and Ambassador levels) conceptions of success. It is possible as a troop leader (I am a former troop leader.) to go off-Journey, as it were, but you need to get buy-in from co-leaders and parents. Most of the time, it's easier to do the activities in the Journey books, which for the younger girls involve tea parties, baking, gardening, and sewing, and for the older girls involve comparison shopping, marketing, and budgeting. (I am not making this up. There are other activities, but the large majority of the activities have little to do with traditional scouting.) I am planning on restarting an overseas troop with a friend, and we'll probably focus on legacy activities, outdoor activities, STEAM projects and civic action. I am definitely NOT doing the Journey books again.

    • @@camillejorenby5563 yes, I completely agree with you! I started as a Daisy in kindergarten, but literally went through 8 different troops before aging out. I had to switch because they would dissolve as other girls my age would get bored or go into sports or other school extracurriculars. So my last troop was the part that allowed me to expand. We as a troop went to the local Boy Scout Klondike Derby where each of the 60 Boy Scout troops would compete and tent camp around the frozen lake in the middle of our district in the middle of winter. It would involve out performing the other troops from the skills within the Boy Scout manual and handbook. My last Girl Scout-age out- troop leader was also a co-leader for her son's troop and that troop would always brag that they could out do our Girl Scout troop in any subject outdoors. So we took up the BSA books and creamed all 60+ troops by huge margins 6 years in a row using their own handbook against them. We eventually joined up together with the two troops that place 2nd and 3rd every year and created our Venture Crew so that we could continue competing against other troops after we had all aged out at 18, but were still considered "youth " and therefore qualified as being allowed to compete because the age-out for Venturing was 21. We all did other community organizations as well. So several of us were leaders of our local 4-H program and did other community work in general. I was really chronically Ill because of post viral issues from mono and those things truly kept me alive and willing to fight back against dysautonomia and gastroparesis, and I wouldnt change a thing about my childhood involvement in scouting and 4-H. They literally saved my life.

Those $4 a box cookies have shrunk in size, added literal wax as filler save money and only give about 35 cents a box towards troop finances. You're better off donating $1. Their membership has been declining due to poor experiences from poor oversight and expecting moms to be troop leaders while taking financialresponsibility for the entire troop, especially with more working moms. They send home recruitment flyers at poor schools so their moms will sign them up for "free" knowing Medicaid health programs will pay the fees to get poor kids something better.

Girls between the ages of 10 and 17 in girl only learning and social environments get better grades, higher test scores, and are evaluated by their teachers as doing better than in co-ed environments, the girls also self report being happier and more confident, but that's self reporting and subject to it's limitations.

  • I did Boy Scouts growing up. My wife and my sister did Girl Scouts. Both of them were bored with the "crafts and cookies" bit and badges that were great if you one day wanted to run a business, particularly if it was art or fashion related, but less fun if you wanted to shoot, fish, backpack, or any of the more adventurous outdoor activities. My sister jumped ship and joined the BSA Explorers when she got old enough, even worked at a BSA camp for a few years. When the news first broke about BSA opening up to girls my wife and I looked up a list of the BSA merit badges a scout could earn, based on his (and now her) interests. My wife actually got angry when she saw what the boys had been offered versus what she had to choose from in the GS.

  • Things might have changed now, but when I was a kid and in Boy Scouts, I knew Girl Scouts that wished they were in Boy Scouts because we actually did "cool/fun" stuff. Boy Scouts is actually moderately rigorous. For example a few of the requirements for the Boy Scout cycling merit badge are 50 mile bike ride and knowledge of how to repair your bicycle. It is almost like school. Where merit badges are courses and some are required while others are electives. Eagle Scout projects are like senior capstone projects and are typically moderately large community improvement projects such as: refurbishing a community playground or installing bus benches throughout the city for the elderly and disabled. This is why being an Eagle Scout means something (or least used to). From what I recall, Girl Scouts was definitely not like this.

  • I was a boyscout the best parts of being one were the Camping trips, the communtiy service projects, and the pool parties. The cons were that most of my troop were aholes who slacked off and didn't do much, the pinewood derbys where most of the kids just had their dads or older brothers make their cars, and my troop was connected to the LDS church so we had to learn about Joseph Smith and the Nephites and Lamenites which is still hilarious to me. Overall I personally think that girls probably learn alot more actual useful things in life in the girl scouts.
