iirc it was some portable hole they dumped their garbage in, only to find that the other end was underneath their university or something

Can't speak to the Girl Scouts, but for the Boys, yes. Scouts would be considered paramilitary if their target membership were adults. Wilderness survival, land navigation, firearms/archery training, small unit organization/leadership, uniforms/standardization, etc. Most militias in the US basically replicate Scouts but for adults.

Yea boy scouts was pretty cool and fun assuming you got a non-weirdo scout master, which admittedly is a bit of a crap-shoot.

I think part of being a hashtag woke brand is exploiting being woke to make money

Girl scouts just genuinely seem to want to be good

Like accepting trans kids doesn't make them any extra cookie money, but they do it

Well, they are suing the boy scouts after they allowed girls to join, so I dunno about genuine.

The girl scouts somehow managed to trademark the word "Scouts" and that`s what their dispute is about.
But If the boy scouts are about be a pan-gender organization they need a new name. I would suggest they go with "The pioneers" with cute little red kerchiefs as part of the uniform to honor the original pioneers.

IIRC they got really pissy last year when the boy scouts decided to accept girl members, because the girl scouts don't have anything to offer but cookies when girls are given an opportunity. the original mission was noble, I think, but they got pretty complacent.

I was pleasantly surprised that the Internation Falcon Movement of Socialist Pioneers was still alive, and survived the fall of the USSR.

You mean AWANA? The thing where you memorize Bible verses? Older boys were "Pioneers", older girls were "Chums".

Gonna be really funny if they have to rewrite and reshoot Endgame because they wrote it around a new character it turns out no one's interested in.

what i dont get about the captain marvel hype is that shes a boring white woman with a really generic costume and no apparent personality why would that be your choice to headline a movie when you could have sassy black afro captain marvel or teenage muslim shapeshifter captain marvel instead im not being a dick here ive actually heard of these other two characters but as far as i can tell carol danvers is famous solely because of the movie and shes probably the least woke possible character they could have chosen to do it

Isn't like 60 percent of Kamala Kahn's personality that she's a Carol Danvers fangirl?

and they gotta save Monica Rambeau for when Marvel wants to do the MCU version of Suicide Squad, AKA Nextwave.

sadly it won't, it's a Marvel movie which are somehow immune from criticism, bad box-office, or negative fan reactions. plus the woke critics are going crackers over how it's a FEMALE-LED SUPERHERO FILM
