So, instead of the Girl Scouts changing with the times and offering content of interest to today's modern girl, let's destroy a beloved institution like the Boy Scouts instead. The Boy Scouts could have offered program material, facilities rental, etc., to help Girl Scout troops with interest to pursue disciplines promulgated by the Boy Scouts. As stated, I don't even see an issue with some joint activities by both groups.
If you sisters could have had some content overlap, like hiking, archery, or whatever, would they have lost interest in the Girl Scouts?
Full disclosure: Was a scout, no kids, so not involved now.
