Maybe they just combine the two and just call it The Human Scouts. ** -- HIXBURGHOKIE 10/11/2017 8:31PM
As a former Eagle Scout, I have no problem with this decision. -- EDGEMAN 10/11/2017 5:41PM
They will actually learn life skills from each other! Millennials have none ** -- VaAkita 10/11/2017 5:38PM
As long as someone keeps selling the thin mints I am ok with whatever ** -- fordham 10/11/2017 5:22PM

Just like every other integration, it will become accepted in a decade -- Cruizer 10/11/2017 4:01PM
There goes the hatchet throwing. (sigh) ** -- `lag 10/11/2017 3:42PM
I thought this was why we had the girl scouts. ** -- hokieman842 10/11/2017 2:50PM
It's just funny....to hear girls talking about merit badges. -- Freddyburg Hokie 10/11/2017 2:32PM
Really? -- 48zip 10/11/2017 2:46PM
He's talking about specifically being called "merit" badges ** -- Nova Hokie 95 10/11/2017 2:48PM
Pretty sure it was a Cam Newton joke. ** -- Late 80s Hokie 10/11/2017 2:50PM
One that centers around them not being called "merit" badges -- Nova Hokie 95 10/11/2017 2:58PM
Someone gets me, at least. ** -- Freddyburg Hokie 10/11/2017 3:44PM
But they have merit badges. I guess I missed it. Self-zing. ** -- 48zip 10/11/2017 2:53PM
A Coed Scouting would be -- RTFC 10/11/2017 2:20PM
Could be driven as much by numbers as by "PC" ness? -- Late 80s Hokie 10/11/2017 2:13PM
Definitely - BSA is looking at a 40% loss if/when the LDS church leaves -- HokieMacDaddy 10/11/2017 2:30PM
They are gone at the end of this year. Already a done deal. ** -- Burruss Writer 10/11/2017 4:07PM
Source? -- HokieMacDaddy 10/11/2017 4:12PM
I would agree with this... the whole mentality of scouting is dying. ** -- HokieSignGuy 10/11/2017 2:15PM
Sigh. Time to start looking for an off-shore retirement location -- vt90 10/11/2017 1:55PM
What about the Men's Grill at the Club? ** -- Brown Water 10/11/2017 2:46PM
Been dying and fading away for years -- 133743Hokie 10/11/2017 5:58PM
Nor are they retiring at 35 ** -- 48zip 10/12/2017 09:31AM
and Spa Lady? -- vt90 10/11/2017 3:01PM
Yup... and now will merit badges have to be gender specific, or will the -- HokieSignGuy 10/11/2017 2:14PM
So, I wonder what their new name will be... -- HokieSignGuy 10/11/2017 1:45PM
I guess Bros and Hos is out. ** -- 48zip 10/11/2017 2:03PM
They will drop the boy and be just Scouts* ** -- daisyWV 10/11/2017 1:56PM
This is the most logical. But, if you think about it... -- HokieSignGuy 10/11/2017 2:09PM
Scouts of America, maybe? -- Will Stewart
10/11/2017 1:54PM
Hope not. Let the Girl Scouts go down their own PC road. -- EDGEMAN 10/11/2017 5:24PM
Yes, but it offends kids who don't identify with either.... -- HokieSignGuy 10/11/2017 2:10PM
They have been battling for kids' memberships. Boys and girls that is. -- 48zip 10/11/2017 2:15PM
Well boys have been trying to talk to girls since the beginning of time, -- fordham 10/11/2017 3:36PM

Wow, the plot thickens. ** -- HokieSignGuy 10/11/2017 2:16PM
It was a matter of time....as a long time adult boy scout/cub scout -- al pie hokie 10/11/2017 1:39PM
Boy scouts took a huge membership hit when they started going PC.. -- Naelbis 10/11/2017 3:17PM
What do you mean? Their mission... -- Freddyburg Hokie 10/11/2017 3:46PM
