>According to a recent bombshell report from The New York Times, the Girl Scouts of the U.S.A. are staring down a massive excess of Thin Mints, Samoas, Tagalongs, and other cookie varieties this year due to COVID-19's effects on membership numbers, as well as the need to “abandon their usual in-person selling methods.”

The Boy Scouts and Girl Scouts are national organizations for children. Its a club you join to do community service and to learn stuff, primarly outdoorsy stuff.

There are traditions and guidelines, and you join local groups so they all the same across the USA.
Since its outdoorsy stuff, you go camping and horse riding and all that shit. Stuff that costs money.
So you fundraise.

Girl scouts sell cookies, boy scouts sell fucking microwave popcorn. You go door to door, sit outside of stores, sell to friends and families to fundraise your trips.
The Girl Scout cookies 20+ years ago used to be fucking god tier cookies, and have gotten more expensive and shittier every year. But its still tradition.
You are buying crappy cookies to essentially help little girls go horseback riding and camping.

Obviously the girl scouts couldnt be out peddling their crappy cookies this year.

That's not the Boy Scouts I joined in the 90s.

It was, even 30 years ago, an organization on the cusp of being extra-daycare, much like schools, fully sterilized so as to be completely safe and inoffensive to everyone forever.

This isnt true. If that happened to you, thats the failing of your local troop, not the organization as a whole.

I joined the Cub scouts in 2000, I stayed in for years and became a Life Scout.
I helped organize the yealry local boy scout camp multiple times which included all sorts of merit badge activities, including archery and marksmanship. We used 22lr rifles and compound bows.
You bought the documentation and shit directly from the boy scouts store, (yes there is an actual brick and mortar store and online store.) Its basically a Camp in the Box, so you dont have to figure it all out yourself.

I didnt hit eagle scout, but I am a member of the local private outdoor gun club. I shoot trap as a hobby.
There is a yearly shoot with boys and girl scouts, teaching them firearm safety and how to shoot skeet and trap, and then they camp on the premises. This is outside of the standard camping done at the local BS and GS camps.

You literally dont know what you are talking about.

All most people know about scouts is the propaganda we see in the media. Depending on what day of the week it is, they're either a den of pedophiles, or they're bigots. I imagine that the activities done have a lot to do with who the local scout masters are. If it's a scout troop in the middle of some shitstain city like Seattle, their idea of camping is to probably set up in a traffic median alongside the hobos, and they learn how to toast marshmallows over an electric space heater.
