F No. I barely wanted to learn to drive period, but my parents made me because they knew there is next to zero public transportation in the area. My dad tried to teach me stick but the mere concept than I could destroy a car's engine by not getting the clutch-shift timing right freaked me out and noped out of that.

My Girl Scout troop had a couple little brothers do everything with us. They said it was more fun than cub scouts. We learned astronomy, camping skills, and public speaking. Curriculum is pretty much up to the individual troop leaders. So how "girly" it is depends on that. My leaders were a couple of farmers' wives and allowed a lot of independent study with one on one attention with them. I was the only girl scout to achieve a computer badge in my troop (it was '86 so it mostly involved a calculator and BASIC).

Having worked at GSA at the state level, anyone can be a Girl Scout, no matter what age or gender. The only requirement is paying the yearly dues.

The Boys Scouts is very conservative organization with close ties to the US military and the LDS church. GSA on the other hand is very liberal at the National level but the autonomy they give to the troop leaders sometimes leads to a disconnect of values.

I frankly still don't understand it. The "Betrayal" was referencing a past reference. Maybe it hearkens back to the the only time a woman should be mentioned in print should be her birth, marriage and death. Miss Emily has now been mentioned in three other publications. Booy's memoir, Winchester's book and the linked article. le scandal. the shame of it all.

I tried a 4 year old photo and it guessed the age I was in the photo correctly. Then I pulled one of me at 17 and it guessed 23. Next I tried a photo from last week, it guess I was ten years older than I am. Either the algorithm can't take heavy make-up into account very well or I have really gone down hill in the last four years.
