It simply means that Scouts should work to pay for the costs of Scouting as opposed to having a parent/guardian write a check every time they do something. Many Scout Troops will have fundraisers to help pay for the cost of Scouting. A Scout should also carefully consider what he needs, or doesn't need, to participate. This helps keep the cost of Scouting low enough that he can afford it.
The main difference is that they belong to different national and international organizations. In the US, Girl Scout troops are members of the national organization, Girl Scouts of the USA. Boy Scout or Scout Troops are members of the national organization, Boy Scouts of America. Each national organization determines the kind of program the troops will use based on guidelines from the international organization. Both organizations earn badges and other awards, however, the awards and the requirements are different. The uniforms are different as determined by the national organization. The way the troops themselves are organized is different.
Members of the Boy Scouts of America wear the official uniform. Units may have an activity uniform that usually consists of a custom T shirt. Venturers may wear the official uniform or they can design their own.
Yes. the only requirement pertaining to religion is a belief in a god. Also the child cannot be homo/bisexual. The boy scout organization is a very closed minded group so it may not be the best idea for him to join although completely acceptable.
The Boy Scouts of America do not allow adult leaders who are gay. Likewise there is no logical reason to ask a minor if they are gay; they would have to provide that information of their own free will. You are in separate sleeping bags and you could always bring your own tent to sleep in.
At the time when Boy Scouts and Scouting were getting their start from Robert Baden-Powell, girls became interested in what the boys were doing and said they wanted to be Boy Scouts. Robert Baden-Powell thought that girls should have their own organization, so he asked his sister to help start Girl Guides. The organization is known as Girl Guides in some places and Girl Scouts in others.
When Sir Robert Baden-Powell started Boy Scouts and the Scouting Movement, there were many girls who also wanted to be scouts and started their own scout troops. Lord Baden-Powell thought that girls should have their own organization so he chose the name "Girl Guides" and asked his sister, Agnes Baden-Powell to help.
The relationship between the LDS Church and the Boy Scouts of America ended in 2019. The LDS Church had been a long-standing sponsor of BSA programs, but decided to discontinue its partnership and create its own youth program.
Robert Baden-Powell started the Scouting Movement (Boy Scouts) in 1908 because of his experiences in the British Army. He felt that boys could benefit from the Scout method, a program of informal education and practical activities such as camping, hiking, sports, backpacking, aquatics, and woodcraft. Many groups of girls began forming their own troops and one group of girls attended a Boy Scout rally in 1909 calling themselves "Scouts". Robert Baden-Powell felt that girls should have their own organization so he chose the name "Girl Guides" and asked his sister, Agnes Baden-Powell, to help found the Girl Guide organization in 1910. Some organizations have chosen to use "Girl Scouts" instead of "Girl Guides".
A subculture is part of the dominant culture but has its own values and folkways. An example would be snake handlers of the Appalachia, the Amish, boy scouts, and alcoholics anonymous.
The BSA states " Not every boy who joins a Boy Scout troop earns the Eagle Scout rank; only about 5 percent of all Boy Scouts do so. " In 2010 there were 898,186 Boy Scouts and 56,176 Eagle Scout awards presented, thus it would appear to be 6.2%. But male Venturers who earned First Class in a troop can continue to work towards Eagle Scout while in a crew. There were a total of 238,846 Venturers, but we don't know how many were eligible, but the percentage goes down. As of 2008 (the last year I have totals), there had been 83,486,083 Scouts since 1911 and 1,880,905 Scouts had earned Eagle Scout, making it 2.2% for the total.
