yeah, my recollection is (simplified and excluding nonbinary) Scouts USA = boys and girls allowed, historically only boys. popcorn. around here, better facilities overall. Girls Scouts = no boys, historically only girls. cookies. around here, better program overall. as in all local organizations, whether you have a good troop/club/whatever depends on the local individuals more than the governing organization.
they want to make it sound like it’s not just for boys
there were a number of years in the middle where girls were allowed to join but it was still called boy scouts
girl scouts is a separate organization tho, idk if they really have influence over each other

The only part of being in girl scouts I liked, selling those cookies. Me, twin, and a red ryder wagon filled with cookies going door to door.
It just sort of sounds like Girl Scouts and Normal Scouts doesn’t it?
