I can't make it... but congratulations Drew!

My sisters are both in the early satges of girl scouts and my mom reluctantly agreed to be their troop leader. They are seven and five and I think that their group, all kids and parents from our local church, would freak out if a boy tried to join. While it is accepted now as part of the regulations, I would wonder exactly how many groups actually let boys in, especially if they are church based like the troop my sisters are in. While it is a great step in a sort of unified organization, I think there could be a lot of uprising out of the acceptance of boys into girl scouts and vice versa because I would immediately want to try to join boy scouts if I could at that age.
