What’s happening to our world? Boy Scouts/Girl Scouts? If the girls want to do boy things, let them … but, they do not have to invade the boys’ territory in order to do those things!

The Girl Scouts can learn to tie knots, put up their own tents, put a worm on a hook, take a fish off the hook, build a fire and cook over an open flame, etc., all the things the boys do, and girls can do this all by themselves, or, can they?

If I were a Boy Scout, I wouldn’t want to be held back just because I need to “help a girl” do boy things.

On the other hand, being a girl myself, I would rather find out that I can do all those things without needing the help of a boy! I think I’ve lived most of my life that way, I just believe the “old way,” let boys be boys and girls be girls, the way God set it all up, and thanks be to God. Oh … and one thing more, I DO appreciate a man’s help when I find something I just cannot do myself, and thank God, again, that we have men and boys who will and CAN help us when we need it.
