Not a good idea

So the Boy Scouts of America are going to be admitting girls... My opinion may surprise people but I don't think it's a good idea.

I mean first is girl scouts won't admit boys.

Agreed. I was in scouts from age 8 to 16. I have some wonderful memories from that time. I have a few bad ones too but that's the way life works. Scouting provided an avenue to escape the city, schoolwork, troubles at home, and be outdoors and learn about nature, the environment, and a whole lot else. It was a time for horseplay, working out differences, and understanding what it takes to be a leader.

If girls were allowed at that time, I know the experience would have been very different. Girls would have been a major distraction to us boys full of hormones. This is not about equality, girls and women are entitled to every right boys and men are. This is about respecting our differences. There are plenty of times boys have the opportunity to interact with girls (school, church, etc.) Scouts should be a place where boys can be boys because that's a good thing.
