Janeway Posted February 25, 2016 Share Posted February 25, 2016 I recall seeing Girl Scout alternatives listed before. I cannot find them. I know there is American Heritage Girls. But I recall another very similar looking group listed. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shawthorne44 Posted February 29, 2016 Share Posted February 29, 2016 We like AHG too, I don't know if all troops do this, but ours does camping trips with the boys version. Then the whole family can go on the trip. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shawthorne44 Posted February 29, 2016 Share Posted February 29, 2016 Personally, I think children's scouting shouldn't be co-ed. I remember reading once about the reason behind the difference between the philosophies of girl ("Do It") and boy ("Be prepared") scouts. If you tell a bunch of girls that the group is going to hike up a certain small mountain that day and that they need to figure out what they need to take and then go do it. The girls will so much time preparing that the day will be gone before they are ready. Whereas the boys will declare themselves ready to leave immediately, and then will look at each other when they get to the top and say "Who brought the food and water?" You put the two groups together and everyone is fine, but it will be the girls bringing the food and water, and it will be the boys getting the hike started. But, they wouldn't have learned as much. My husband is a Eagle Scout and I was very into scouting. We've often compared are differing and often opposite experience. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sandragood1 Posted March 2, 2016 Share Posted March 2, 2016 4-H? Depending on what activities you are interested in, some clubs are more generalized and some more specific to a particular interest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
