ezs note:  Well, now, let me see.  Do girls belong in the Boy Scouts?

in 1909:  no
in 2000:  well... no... not really...
But this is 2017, pal.  If they feel that strongly, they do belong.  Unless Donald Trump is your Scout leader.  In that case, maybe boys and girls should stay out of the troop.  It would be so much better that way.
