Another positive step in the right direction for an organization rife with brokenness. There’s a lot I don’t like about the organization, but this is something a love–a scouting organization open to young women and the lgbtq community. The next step is being inclusive of nonreligious agnostic and atheist youth and leaders. As well as ending the cultural appropriation of Native American peoples.
May this organization continue to build up youth, never allow further violence against youth, and make amends for all the wrongs. There’s a lot of good that comes out of organizations like this and I won’t discount it even though it’s riddled with a dark history.
I thought I had remembered them allowing some boys. I know of a male girl scout leader.
I’ll edit that part.
They accept trans boys, trans girls, and nonbinay kids. So they do allow some boys. Just not cis boys.
I think they allow male leaders because it’s hard to get people to volunteer for that position without even limiting to one gender.
