I think they ended 20 years ago. Back then my nephews went in and only lasted a season. They did arts n' crafts. They didn't go camping, tie knots, shoot .22s or any of that stuff. It was like a badly run daycare for boys. Good riddance.
I do know that oftentimes the campsites around my favourite lakes for fishing were often filled with youngsters out with some father, having themselves informal 'man camps'. It's not the same, but these days we gotta do for ourselves - and our sons.
Both sad and scary. I know God has a plan; but I really have trouble envisioning it right now.
ReplyDeleteHave a blessed weekend.
Linda, hopefully God's plan is to have someone start a different organization.

ReplyDeleteWe'll probably see the backlash.
Boys need a place to just be boys. This is a very bad thing.
ReplyDeleteI suppose girl scouts accepts boys now too?
