What a joke, no way I would allow my son to join such a joke of a organization!

The pussification of America continues.

What do the boy scouts do now-a-days? Cook in microwaves and play non-violent video games?

I'm sure it'll be a future change where the boy scouts will allow anyone in, boy or girl

Girl Scouts are leading that charge....LINK

As for the water guns, that crap..... They are missing a very real point of instruction in that toys are not firearms. The brightly colored water gun can't be confused with a Glock.

"Hey Son, be sure to clear that Super Soaker before handling it....."

The Scouts is a shell of what it was back in the day I was involved.

My kids are in 4-H. So many positives, I can't list them all. The Shooting Sports are an important part of 4-H.

But that's age discrimination. Just "scouts". Wait. Someone might find that offensive. I think the government will need to take that over and find some politically correct, all inclusive name.

Didn't you guys get the memo? There are no inherent difference between any individuals, yet we must celebrate each person's uniqueness.

We are looking into 4-H for my sons but information on what the local groups actually do is hard to come by....

Always remember: You're unique, just like everybody else.

We've got at least one person in INGO who has been vocal that inert hunks of plastic shaped like guns must be treated like guns.
