Twenty years ago was 1986 and I doubt that at that time Girl Scouts were promoting gendered socialization and traditional gender roles. If anything, Girl Scouts is typically far above other similar national programs (especially Boy Scouts, sorry guys) in promoting girls in sports, maths and sciences. The awards at ALL levels are to teach leadership, responsibility, and service. They are focused on career guidance and healthy self-images.
Just because you earned a cooking or sewing badge when you were eight years old does not mean you know anything about Girl Scouts or their program today.
I definately have a lot more to say on the issue, but I have class in eight minutes. Please take some time to explore the website, or hey, why not give your local council a call and see just what it is they do for girls and women?
