BSA adheres to Leave No Trace principles when backcountry hiking today. That means packing out personal waste, so Scouts no longer dig temporary pit latrines. In established camps, there are separate facilities for males and females, because BSA camps are open to co-ed Venture Scout crews and female staff members. Just thought you'd like to know. As an adult female Scout leader, I have backpacked quite a bit with Boy Scout troops. Thanks for your concern, but we know how to handle the situation.

How do you keep the boys from sneaking over to watch the girls do their business?

Perhaps the boys are taught not to do that and actually have good parents and leaders who will punish them if they are caught doing so or attempt to.

That never stopped us when I was a kid.

And those were the days when your teachers, parents and adults in general could legally whack you.

I'll bet there's a lot going on that you don't know about.

It is a form of child abuse. If you cannot see that, well then I find that quite disturbing and i can see why

you are so defensive


I'm not in the least defensive about normal posts . Idiotic posts that do things like stupidly ask if someone likes child porn hack me off . It shows something about the character of the poster asking this that they feel they need to stoop to such a disgusting level to try and win a debate .


Grow the hell up and post like an adult or shut up.

No group should be made to bend over backwards to meet the needs of an infinitely small number of confused people.

Wait... Do what?!?!?

Every single discussion and definition surrounding transgenderism includes a mismatch between biological sex and perceived gender. The argument is that a person should not be assigned a gender based on just their biological sex. I'm sorry, but no, that really is the bridge too far for logical leaping.

Unless you were in the middle of a desert I see no reason that some privacy could not have been provided.

Male and female sexes are biological.

Male and female genders are also biological.

Lack of congruence between the two does not make transgender male or female gender no longer biological.
