Back in the 70's it was cool. In my area in NY anyway. We did "MAN" stuff...chopped trees for firewood, camped out, sang gay songs...which I always hated but thought it was part of something bigger but we bunked together like the military do at the end of the night. Pedos took it over and were arrested here and there in the 1980's. I hate the agenda. My daughter joined Girl Scouts in the mid 2000's and it was a wreck...She hated it because of the cliques inside it. Woman power bullcrap and all that goes with it. I pulled her out and she was happier than sh*t that I did. She said "thanks Dad". That told me everything I needed to know...even though it was Camp Mariah. Look that up!
