I actually have no issue with girls joining the boy scouts program since the troops are suppose to be gender segregated. There is a whole in the market, so the boy scouts organization is filling it by letting girls in. The issue is that instead of marketing it as offering an opportunity for girls, they market it as genderless. Today they change the name. Tomorrow they desegregate the troops and the boy scout experience is gone. Why is it so hard to give things to women without taking things away from men?

It’s ok for one to be a gender fluid organization and girls is sacred space for teddy bears

The problem was never with Boy Scouts, the problem was with Girl Scouts for not making their curriculum challenging. They have known for decades that girls wanted a much more challenging curriculum.

We joined BSA with my daughter because Girl scouts went so liberal a long time ago. We wanted a traditional scout experience. This year we quit and joined American Heritage Girls, because they are actually trying to providea scout experience in a safe environment. BSA has a newish eagle required badge that requires DEI conversations with your counselor. We had a new leader whose husband is a professional activist and she wears rainbow pins on her uniform and my husband heard her talking about her feminist rants at camp. Our daughter was not safe with her. There is a cross dressed (I can't tell what gender he wants to be) leader in another troop. He comes to camp dressed in the oddest ways possible clearly looking to start a problem. BSA has ruined the program. 😢 They recently sent a survey out to female scouts asking about their gender identity and how they felt about mixed gender troops. BSA is about to implode itself.

As a girl in the Boy Scouts I agree somewhat. In 2022 I went to a summer camp where the boys and men were separated. Later that night a girl started yelling and crying going asking around for help luckily I was awake and we went to a leader and she told me she felt someone down her pants. No one believed her until they found the man who did it, they didn’t do anything to the man. Wasn’t arrested or anything. Boy Scouts isn’t the same as it used to be.

I'm a girl in Boy Scouts, almost finished my Eagle and personally, I will NEVER call it "Scouting America". And I know none of the girls in my troop will either. None of us are offended by the name "Boy Scouts" because that's what it was for so long! Nothing about the organization has changed in the rank aspect or anything like that, there's just girls now. I'm in Girl Scouts as well, and I can say BSA is 10x better. Socially, leadership wise, learning life and outdoor skills, gaining responsibility. It's great.

My sons are Cub Scouts - I (his Mother) am his Den leader for the kids in his grade. They needed volunteers - and I waited and waited and they couldn't get any. So I stepped up. I guess I could have just let them fold instead? But I'm glad I stepped up. Our family has LOVED scouts and it is a huge part of our lives now. I will say that you can't just call BSA (or Scouting America) all bad for any reason. The entire program really is up to your own Pack - the whole experience depends on the men (and women!) who volunteer to take time out of their schedules (unpaid) to make it what it is. Our Pack is amazing - we do so many things, have a lot of great leaders and resources. Parents are really involved and they don't take any crap and handle situations appropriately. I can't say that all Packs are like this - BUT - you can't judge the entire program on the top leaders. It is local leaders that have all of the control over your experience.

@NorahLovesGod That's weird! A kid's sexuality shouldn't matter especially in the girls scout.

I was a Girl Scout when I was a kid. It wasn't very fun because I was bullied horribly by my troop mates. My mom let me quit (the only time she has let me quit). I was super upset about not being a scout anymore. Then her best friend, who is an Eagle Scout, gave me some of his old scout books, and my mom found me some of the older Girl Scout books. I devoured them (i have a HUGE collection of scout books from over the years) and they would help me when i wanted to try something out from the book. I can say I am very proud of not only the sewing and homemaking skills I learned from the older girl scout books but the skills I have for basic survival outside of a city setting. I remember asking my moms friend if I could join the Boy Scouts, he said in no uncertain terms, "Absolutely not. It's meant for boys and men, which you must respect, but you can learn the skills." More people in the world need to hear that, be it "no. it's for girls and women. And you need to respect that" or "no. It's for boys and men. You need to respect that."

Some don't know it but the Girl Scouts actually had a Golden Eaglet Merit award which shortened to the Golden Eaglet award from 1919-1938. I know for sure because my mom who was 16 at the time was one of the last Girl Scouts to achieve it in 1938, the last year it was awarded. I still have the newspaper article framed from a Michigan newspaper to show it. I have a twin brother and both of us earned our Eagle Scout awards in 1974. We used to tease our dad that he was the only one if the family without an Eagle Scout award....LOL

hi, I live in the UK and over here we’ve had girls in scouting since the 70s. though we have the girls only version of girl guides it’s seen by many girls as boring and simple with less camps and lots of crafts. When I was in scouts (as a girl) i was never seen as a problem or taking any thing away from the boys. We were all pretty happy to co exist and I never knew was such a debate in the US about this.

My first thought is camping trips would be an absolute NO from me as a parents. Mixed genders in the woods at night? Nope.

​@@pooksmagoo6521 well in my country u only have "SCOUTS" , they are kinda divided by marine and land scouts. When there are trips, they take their own tent, sometimes friends camp together, others alone, it depends on the person itself. But yeah, its all together. I guess, if we get stuck in a scenario that requires survival skills (like the ones u can learn with the scouts), no one needs to depend on the other. Or some people may be able to help others, either male or female. Tho they have some skills set for one and for the other, but about 95% are for all genders. When camping they tend to be sorted, like males to one side, females to the other, but not divided like one cant go. 😅

The BSA has a very robust Youth Protection program in place for its youth. Its important to remember that many of these cases happened long ago and the only reason they were able to be prosecuted is because the BSA kept records as well as they did to insure they were never able to become a leader in the organization again. Every leader is required to take youth protection training, pass a back ground check and abide by our barriers to abuse policy. Additionally our scouts are taught how to recognize abuse both on line and in person and report it as part of the program

The BSA policy includes: 2 deep leadership, including at least one female at all scouting activities, including meeting; Child protection training. And in practice, people from outside the troop, ie non-parent adults, are unlikely going to be allowed by most troops to be in a position to be heavily involved with the activities

Brett, you are the queen of transitions. Good segment. I'm 62 and was a boy scout, I look back with fond memories of camping and outdoor life. I use the skills I learned on a regular basis. This is what we are missing today for our young American males.

As an girl who was an ex BOYSCOUT, in my old troop, which was a girls troop in a main boys troop, our supervisor was a MAN though it shoudve been a woman Though i think boy scouts should allow girls, they shouldn’t have combined troops of male and female- especially in teens i quit for a reason. Keep them separate.

Agreed, coed troops definitely shouldn’t be a thing

I am a female Eagle, and I feel the same way about your views on girls joining Boy Scouts. I loved being able to join, but there were times when it felt awkward. Girls are required to have troops that are separate from the guys, so me and my friends weren’t thrown into the middle of a boys troop, but it was definitely awkward at times to be at camps around tons of guys. There were also times when I was annoyed that they let girls into Boy Scouts because I went to a campout one time and the other girls I was with from different troops should NOT have been in scouts. One girl cried all week about her breakup, and refused to run to a girl who was having an asthma attack when she was the one holding her inhaler. Another group of girls let guys into their tent and it was a nightmare. They also had a 13 year old girl in-charge of us, ages 12-16.

It would be nice if some of the Eagle scouts would commit themselves to retaking the BSA, and ousting the perverts and progressives from the organization so that other boys can benefit from the program in the way that they have.

When I was little I used to go to Girl Scouts but it was of course frilly and girly. We found a Christian summer camp (Camp Johnsonburg) through my church where we canoed on the Delaware River, went camping, and learned survival skills. It was open to all children, boys and girls. Scouts or not, there are always programs or activities out there for everyone. Changing the Boy Scouts is super unnecessary.

🥰Brett, thank you for this video. I was an active Girl Scout from 1962, all through my school years and beyond. I was a leader for my girls. When GSA started being "inclusive" and changing things to accommodate others by altering the Promise and basics, I was glad my girls were adults and leaving scouting. At 11:00 you mentioned other organizations. In the comments I found someone mentioned *American Heritage Girls* which was born out of wanting to get back to what scouting used to be. I see a spark of hope for the future.😃

I was a Boy Scout and we had a good troop leader. My brother and 4-sisters were all scouts. We had a Boy Scout camp locally and a Girl Scout camp locally. Not anymore. This is why kids now play video games all day and go on social media and are overweight and have trouble coping with every little thing.

As a female Boy Scout, i would just like to offer a bit of insight. Boy Scouts is an amazing program. Girl Scours has quite separately evolved into something entirely different and that doesn’t mean it’s bad. But to the average girl, Boy Scouts offers a lot more opportunities to learn, lead and grow, raking that scout law and oath and implementing it in your daily lives. I’ve become a better person because this program and actually walked out of my tomboy phase. I learned the importance of proper uniform and clothing. I learned the importance of EDGE and guiding your patrol to success. Allowing them to eat food instead of you when you accidentally fuck up during shopping. I learned about being prepared and taking accountability. I learned about enduring pain since you’re not the only dealing with shit everyone is, yes I’m talking about the latrines. I’ve bonded so much with my troop over our wild experience that only this program could’ve offered from bopping to K-pop while cleaning the latrines, while learning you can’t make pancakes on a slope, to seeing your friends advance with you, to having those average Saturday existential crisis’ together. Yes men and women are different, yes I know, but honestly when I see other Boy Scouts, girl or boy, i can bond with them. Why? Because we have core values that we live by and are good people. That’s what special about Bot Scouts; it’s an experience, not a program, an experience in which we’re trying to figure things out while the adults watch us. If you fuck up your meals, you deal with consequences, even if that’s bagels for dinner. And about boys and girls. The troops 98% of the time are one-sex only. All-boys or all-girls. There’s only a very tiny percentage of co-ed ones with tons of precautions, usually done because the other one is dying in a last resort. So we usually don’t interact with guys till summer camp. But don’t worry, there idioticness doesn’t decrease with us around, but occasionally we may join in :) (Literally one 12 yr, old girl asked a boy: boyfriend flavored ice-cream or ice-cream flavored boyfriend, guess we’re all idiots in the end :P)

Was looking for this comment! I’ve seen a bunch of girls have similar experiences to yours and was hoping someone would post this perspective

as a former member of BSA, I am deeply concerned and offeneded. With the oligations of abuse, the fact that most boy scouts are hyper-hormonal, and the possible problems that could emerge, this is deeply troubling. This is an insult to me, to my brothers, and especially the founder Baton Powell. Boys need to learn and mature together. We are lost, alone and we need young boys with strong role models to guide them towards manhood, healthy relationships and healthy lifestyles.

I've been in scouting all my life and it was always a such a positive group to be. The scout master and your parents would always be involved in your development in so many new skills and I've been on so many outings where i would just think "wow I would have never done something like this if i wasn't in my troop". When Brett was talking about how hard times create strong men I thought about how even though we live in a time of peace BSA has always taught us to push ourselves towards a goal that seems close to impossible. Now I stand at the end of my path to eagle and I get to reflect on all the mountains I've climbed; the merit badges, the scoutmaster interviews, the board interviews, the actual mountains I've climbed, the 50 mile canon trip, and so many more things that I've overcome. The path was rough but now I feel that I truly am prepared to overcome any hardships in my life. It so sad to see this organization that I've so dedicated myself to crumble to something as stupid as this. I 100% agree that BSA needs to take a long look at themselves and to take an even longer look at what they once use to stand for. For all the positive things that's come into my life because of BSA I don't want it to disappear and I wish for others to experience what I had experienced because it truly does make an impact that will last a life time. Getting Eagle is no joke but now it seems that it might as well be one.

I'm 15 and heavily involved in Trail Life USA. It's a scouting program that actually cares about traditional values. American Heritage Girls is a sister program for girls that is pretty much the exact same thing, but will prepare young women as opposed to young men. Churches that have one often have the other, they will meet on the same night, at the same time, share courts of honor, it works fine. These cowards just need to accept the fact that young men and young women need different training to turn into half decent adults. I guess that's where the leaders of "sCoUtInG USA" were failed in their upbringing. Edit: I made this comment before I finished the video, I didn't realize that Brett mentioned Trail Life at the end of the video. I guess this will at least provide a little bit more info about it.

As a Boy Scout I would like to say since girls have joined Boy Scouts and made their own “girl troops” so many things have been put in place to protect girls in scouting. As an example a male scout or scout leader can not accompany a female scout unless a non related adult is there as well. These rules would not have and should not have been put in place if gender roles had just stayed the same and people left scouting alone.

I and my father both donated to the boy scouts for over 15 years, every year faithfully. We both cancelled that today. I called first and let them have it over the phone as i told them to immediately cancel my yearly donation amount, then my dad did the same. We also told them to wipe our names from any fundraising and not to email us of call us ever again.

As an ex boyscout myself this is disgraceful after years of misconduct they think that changing their name can cover it up!! And the rebrand is really bad!!

Pin this and come back 2 years from now. I wonder now that this is happening if they will mass hire trans folks and I wonder how long it takes for the first SA to happen...I mean, if it was bad before, it's only gonna get far worse. Male trans camp counselors now with the girls. Smh...this is so disappointing for humanity's common sense and the future generation

Yes I was involved with boy scouts for a long time, this is disgraceful.

I need to send my Eagle Scout Award back. I don't even feel proud enough to tell people I am an Eagle Scout.

It all started when they switched boys life to scouts life. My brother was always so excited to get his magazine but now it’s all woke shit.

I am so glad I got out the Boy Scouts when I did, it is no longer an organization worth joining.

@@ArcturusCOG 1, are these cases actually proven or are they alleged cases. I have never run into any example of the crap EVER in my 12 years of scouting! Not that it never happens but if it’s as bad as people claim it to be, you’d see it everywhere. I also made it to Eagle and there are plenty of things I disagree with the BSA on, but they aren’t some shitty organization. Or at the very least, any more shitty than the Roman Catholic Church.

Brett, excellent video!

As a Conservative Christian, THIS NOT A WOKE MOVE by the boy scouts, they have been losing members like crazy!

Girl Scouts was dope for me. I was an Ambassador in the end and got my Gold Award. I was sad to see that they have also gone full lib and added an LGBTQ patch. I’m glad my sashes made it out alive before they degenerated them! I always wanted to be a Boy Scout too though… for the pine derby!

In the UK, girls were able to join the scouts way back in the early 1990s. We had two girls in our troop, plus a female leader. Yes, they got to stay in a caravan on the camping trip, rather than a tent, but they did everything else the same. In the US it's really just a matter of the name.

I don't really understand the US but being from the UK things are different

I’m in a Boy Scout troop with a pretty conservative Scout leader (FYI, he never shares his beliefs, but you could tell he is one), he said he would never make any changes to our troop if we were forced to.

The American Heritage Girls seems like a solid choice for girls who would like to do more than bake cookies.

Just to clarify for anyone who is unaware, boys and girls have separate troops which have rules for the genders of the leaders.

They are still together at district/council events, summer camps, and some like mine are always camping with our venture crew which IS co-ed. also having female adult leaders create a motherly presence that I feel would be best without.

I am a girl who is in an all girls "boy scout" troop. I left girl scouts because I felt like it wasn't adventurous enough. When I was in my girl scouts we made bracelets. I am not saying girl scouts are not adventurous I just got stuck with a bad girl scout troop. Now in "boy" scouts I am learning much more than I ever have. Although the name change is extra, I do love having the choice to join the different troops that let me have adaptability to the amount of adventure I want to take on. Also a plus is that I can become an Eagle Scout as a girl. :)

The intro to the 1911 copy is crazy because it's exactly what's happening today. It just blows my mind.

This is not only my favorite comment section video ever (which is saying a lot, I love a lot of Brett's videos) this video is also the most relatable. The boy scout troop that I worked with for the first 4 years of my career turned out to be terrible, and I had to endure the change of allowing girls to do scouts, which actually wasn't that bad at all and I was lucky enough to befriend a few of them, so it could have gone a lot worse. I also had to switch to a completely different troop just to earn my eagle, which I gave full detail on in a song I wrote, so I won't do it here. But me and lot of others know firsthand the BS that scouting has turned into, and I hope and pray for all the other existing organizations in the world that are fostering the care, building, and growth of good young men. And yes, girl scout organizations can fix themselves to make it more adventurous and entertaining for girls. It's not that hard.

My son is 2/3 of the way towards Eagle and we will continue on this journey. I will continue to support the young men no matter what they decide to call it. We can't abandon the mission of supporting the growth and advancement of young men.

Brett, you’re amazing. Thank you so much for talking about this and for taking the side you’re taking. You’re right this is stupid as an Eagle Scout myself I can say this is sad. 😞
