Peggy Oh you could now.......... well actually no you couldn't you're too 'big', but what I meant to say is that they take girls now. Does that mean boys can be Brownies?!? sunnyday Quote

AnonyMouse_8466 Posted February 22, 2009 Posted February 22, 2009 I wanted to join the cubs and they wouldn't let me. Well they would now Peggy - its just Girlguiding UK that won't let the boys in. Not sure about Girls'/boys' brigade though... Maz Quote

AnonyMouse_13453 Posted February 22, 2009 Author Posted February 22, 2009 There are parts of the world where women are very much oppressed, and the Guiding movement gives them a certain autonomy which they would otherwise be unable to experience. Allowing boys or men into the organisation as full members would mean that men would take over in these areas and women would be subjugated again. So it's vital that Girlguiding remains female only, with men only admitted as honorary members Quote
