The GSA is more progressive than the BSA in regards to LGBT matters. For whatever reason, the Girl Scouts are keeping up with the 21st century better than the Boy Scouts, who are hanging on to 1950s traditions for dear life.

The BSA also still has a paramilitary feel to it (although that may depend on the Scout leader’s proclivities), while the GSA never did.

My stepson’s scout leader was a former Navy man. He taught them knots.

Scouting was created explicitly to assure a higher standard of cannon fodder.
