The boy scouts should only allow boys

Pro says: We don't really let girls into men's bathrooms or into school dormitories, it's basically the same logic. I wouldn't let girls enter the men's bathroom, so why let them in the boy scouts?I honestly don't care where someone does their business, but that is still a diffrent issue. The men's bathroom has the potential for someone to see private parts, especially with the existance of a uranal, and also has no effect on someone's future.Pro says: No no, just mean that both can happen because teenagers have larger sex drives than children or adults as they've just hit puberty. The idea of the boy scouts is for boys to officially become men and survive out in the wilderness. Also, the boys will not focus too well on the merits and rewards, their minds would end up focusing on girls because that's how teenage boys function, I'm saying this as a 15 year old myself (although I'm not a boy scout, I understand the whole idea behind it)I am sixteen, and though do to the fact I don't seem to have a sex drive myself for whatever reason, I believe it can still be managed. Once again, if girls and boys study together in school for eight hours a day, than scouting is the least of their worries. Pro says: Yes in school or in public where there's a load of people around them, in the scouts they are in tents on their on trying to survive. Also, the whole point of boy scouts is to allow boys to officially become men and remain away from the opposite sex preventing sexual desire from taking them over.Honestly they aren't "Trying to survive" they have what they need and can leave at any time. I, watching my little brother do boy scouts, defenintly don't see it as that and nether does BSA as I will show you. "It is the mission of the Boy Scouts of America to serve others by helping to instill values in young people and, in other ways, to prepare them to make ethical choices during their lifetime in achieving their full potential. The values we strive to instill are based on those found in the Scout Oath and Law."That definitly doesn't say anything about a main value being keeping boys away from girls.http://www.scoutingbsa.org...Pro says: Then what girls should do is simply join the girl scouts and point out the problems they have and do their best to fix the girl scouts, not ruin another organization.It isn't the responsibility of the children to fix the organisation, not the responsibility of Girl Scouts of the USA to change for those who don't like it. But if another organization fits their tastes, then it doesn't hurt anyone to be allowed in it.Pro says: But boys need to be separated from girls as it's the boy scouts, it's why people join, to become men and fight off their desires and also earn survival skills. It's unfortunate because girls seem to not want men to remain in a place away from girls. What they do in the boy scouts actually works best with single-sex.Other than just stating that they need to be seprate, you need to state a good reason why. Any girl joining the boy scouts will actively want to learn such things as well.Pro says: Unlikely, because no military would send 11-18 (Maybe 18 year old youths but unlikely) year old youths to go to Afghanistan or Iraq to engage in combat. And putting combat out, it won't risk life, it's just hard training.If someone is to join the military, they are learning how to kill. That is what the military is, and you cannot join the military until the age of eighteen. At that age you very well might be sent to active combat. As someone who lost their dad to iraq when I was in kindergarten, that cannot be a solution.Pro says: Con's point here does not seem to make that much sense as he really just pointed out what the boy scouts are for with a different vocab, that is kind of the point, it is for boys only after all because the name is "boy scouts" not "co-ed scouts.""What's in a name, a cat by any other name still would not smell like a rose" -Rose MariePro says: Again, what they should be doing is try to fix the girl scouts and not damage the boy scouts because they happen to do activities that they are interested in.Again, it isn't the child's responsibility to fix it.Pro says: Not sure how con makes sense in this particular statement. This is not a good enough excuse for a girl to force her way into the boy scouts.It means that for someone people to gave an opportunity to scout at all, you have to be willing to let go of the word "Boy".Pro says: That's a good point, but some of them are actually quite valid and explain pretty well despite being from YouTube. Besides, not many people will want to create a blog about this issue as it's pretty much common sense that girls should not be allowed in boy scouts and vice versa. But the YouTube source I gave was uploaded by a gentleman who was a former boy scout and he understands the whole idea behind it, so it's pretty much a decent source.I recognize both youtube channels actually, and the problem are they are both aviad anti-feminists. Far from unbiased as they are against anything that could be viewed as a feminist move. I understand disliking feminists but these guys can be just as bad at times.Pro says: It's their right but a lot of people will not allow their sons to become boy scouts from now because of the damage done from allowing girls into the organization.I on the other hand doubt most people really care all that much. It isn't like it will become half and half either, most girls won't want to join, but those who do should be able to. The whole reason I didn't join the girl scouts was because I learned I couldn't join the boy scouts in fact. That was when I was about in first grade or kindergarten because all of my close friends were boys and I wanted to do what they were doing.
