SCTuba Posted July 23, 2012 Share Posted July 23, 2012 I have been having this discussion for quite a while and was wondering what everyone thinks. Traditionalists. Especially considering both corps have roots in the Boy Scouts. No sexism about it, it's just how they choose to operate. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kamarag Posted July 23, 2012 Share Posted July 23, 2012 Well, they are private organization who are privately funded. The second that they accept public, state, or federal funding, they would have no choice but to change. But until that happens, they can do whatever they want. They choose to put themselves at a competitive disadvantage by not accepting female members. Works for me. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mobrien Posted July 23, 2012 Share Posted July 23, 2012 (edited) What I think is that the OP needs to go back and bathe in the info and opinion that he or she will find in any of the other 245 threads that have been started on this topic over the years.

drummer5485 Posted July 23, 2012 Share Posted July 23, 2012 (edited) Cavalies are listed as a fraternal organization. Therefore they are allowed to accept only males as a fraternity (not sure about Scouts but I'm sure they have something similar). This question comes up at least once a year and great reasons are given by many other people. There are plenty of other amazing corps a female can march aside from Scouts and Cavaliers. Can we please close this thread now? Edited July 23, 2012 by drummer5485 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do not understand this. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
