Stosh 3452 Posted May 22, 2014 Share Posted May 22, 2014 As viewed by a small sample population: http://fivethirtyeight.com/datalab/boy-scouts-vs-girl-scouts-a-battle-of-values/ The only real difference I see is: "A Scout is..." vs. "I will do my best to be...". The rest is just platitudes compared to these opening words. "I am a scout, I am trustworthy" says one thing and "I am a scout and I do my best to be trustworthy". Sorry, but the GSUSA words just don't do much for me. Stosh Link to post Share on other sites

Peregrinator 85 Posted May 22, 2014 Share Posted May 22, 2014 Sorry, but the GSUSA words just don't do much for me. I don't see much difference between the GSUSA "law" (which seems to be a combination of a scout Promise and Law) and the BSA law combined with the oath. "On my honor I will do my best ... to obey the scout law etc." Link to post Share on other sites
Stosh 3452 Posted May 22, 2014 Share Posted May 22, 2014 The promise is not the moral values. It's how I react to the moral values. This is why the two are separate and different. Stosh Link to post Share on other sites
qwazse 4346 Posted May 22, 2014 Share Posted May 22, 2014 For a while they sold "all-abouts", shortbread cookies stamped with the GS ideals on them. I really liked those cookies. Link to post Share on other sites
