feature farmers of america and a skills usa, and 4h desperately, now more than ever. it does concern me to see all the confusion swirling around the organization, but like so many wounds unafraid many of these are self-inflicted. i think some of the confusion im legitimate. i read to their official statement, while girls are being welcomed in, i didn t read anything about integrated camping trips or group meetings. i think it is a play to compete more directly with the girl scouts and i understand why the girl scouts are upset but since when is competition a bad thing? character development and leadership development have never been more important than they are today so my hope is that the boy scouts assume the opportunity that is presenting itself and become an antidote for the safe space environment that is out there and push back a littleit bit.
