I always thought the "featured performer" label was terrible in the past. Just a label to keep alumni happy. I see this as step one to ease into allowing more females in the future which I hope happens! And will effective kill the Madison Scouts. Congrats! Another dead drum corps.

Which was your first mistake. “To a fault” would be an understatement. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One offs arent always a bad thing I really doubt she paid dues. I certainly could be wrong, but I was seem to remember that being the case.

Unless they receive any publically available tax generated funding. That would alter their status. I'm not sure what the situation would be for non-profits. Maybe the financial whizzes on DCP can shed clarity on this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly why or how will having a female member kill the Scouts? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rufus67 Posted February 27, 2018 Share Posted February 27, 2018 Not that my voice counts for a lot but, as a parent who's sent tuition dollars to the Scouts and volunteered time with them, I'm very glad to see them make this move. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Relampago wasn't an indicator that something is seriously wrong? I think their problems run much deeper than whether they allow females as members. Like - what do they want their identity to be? WTF was last year? It's been schizophrenia on a football field with them since Scott Stewart was dumped. They have issues. I'm not sure the sex of their members would rank very high on the list of issues. And I say this in full agreement with the sentiment that as a private organization they can do what they want regarding membership 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure why I would have been quoted in this response. I was merely making the point that if the Scouts think of her as they do any other member, why not call her a member? As for all-girls schools, if you have men as students, you have men as students. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surely you're not saying something as momentous as this is off limits for DCP? A girl in the Scouts and we're supposed to muzzle ourselves because it's only for 149 others marching with her to say? Not even the 150 who marched last year? Or the ones who will march next year? Or maybe even fans who care? You're going to have to explain this to me.

It's up to the Madison Scouts to decide what is best for their organization. If they allow women as members, that's cool. If not, that is their call. I just hope the PC crowd doesn't try to put them out of business for not allowing females to become members! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
