considering that this stage of development contributes to a child's friendship, self-confidence, will, trust, courage, and camaraderie, if we wish to see these qualities in On our children - future successors, it is important to gradually reinforce these values that we value. I would congratulate every organization that seeks to do so, including the Girl Scouts of America.
Since its founding in 1912, Girl Scouts-run programs have helped generations of young women develop the courage and confidence to make the world a better place. It's a strong program, and I'm sure Girl Scouts are doing the same thing as Boy Scouts and other character-building organizations.
However, we felt it was time to open the doors and welcome girls to the (boys) Scouts. This decision does not mean that our program will be co-educational, we will provide girls with training courses for women instead of boys-only programs as we do now.
The above is from Mike Surbaugh, CEO of Boy Scouts of America.
When it comes to Boy Scouts, I have to mention the movie "Mr. Smith to Washington": Smith (James Stewart) is an honest and kind young man, the leader of the Boy Scouts in a certain state, loved by the children, he has just been in A heroic performance in a forest fire made the news. The state senator fell ill and died, and when there was a vacancy, the party elected him to go to Washington as a senator. The party elected him, and they just wanted him to be a puppet and an echo. But Smith was inspired to propose a bill of his own—the establishment of the Boy Scouts of America National Headquarters to teach children the value of freedom. When he and his secretary were drafting the bill late at night, he pointed to the brightly lit Capitol building outside the window and said this line to the secretary:
Smith: You see, boys forget what their country means by just reading The Land of the Free in history books. Then they get to be men they forget even more. Liberty's too precious a thing to be buried in books, Miss Saunders. Men should hold it up in front of them every single day of their lives and say: I'm free to think and to speak. My ancestors couldn't, I can, and my children will. Boys ought to grow up remembering that.
You know , children just read the slogan "Land of Freedom" in history textbooks, and they will forget the meaning of their country. As they get older, they forget more. Miss Saunders, freedom is too precious to be buried in books. People should hold freedom before their eyes every day of their lives and say: I can think and speak freely. My ancestors couldn't, but I could, and my descendants could. Children should grow up with this idea.
Later, Smith's proposal just touched the interests of the party bosses, and soon, he was brought down and slandered.
In the end, Mr. Smith did not give in, and his brilliant tongue-in-cheek battle in Congress finally turned the tables on his own.
Not only has he become a hero in the hearts of half a million children again, but he has also won the heart of Miss Sanders, the female secretary who has always hated him.
