Re: Female on campouts

Hi Larry -

> Should women be ASMs and/or go on campouts?

I've been wondering about that myself. I love camping and am the first
to suggest/sign up for our pack campouts but wasn't sure what will
happen when my son crosses over (He just became first year Webelos). I
wondered if I should just stay on as Cubmaster of our Pack rather than
try to butt in where I didn't belong (as a committee person/leader in
Boy Scouts).

Another Webelos Leader/Boy Scout Committee Person told me that he knows
lots of women in Boy Scouting.

She may just want to enjoy herself just like everybody else at the
campout.
