The Girls Scouts of America is accusing the Boy Scouts of America of secretly trying to recruit girls. Girl Scouts President Kathy Hopinkah Hannan wrote a letter to Boy Scouts President Randall Stephenson. In it, Hannan said her organization was upset to learn that the Boy Scouts were talking to young parents about creating programs for their daughters. We were disappointed in the lack of transparency as we learned that you are testing the appeal of a girls' offering to millennial parents, she wrote. Hannan also said in her letter that she thought the Boy Scouts were being dishonest about being only for boys. Instead, she said, the Boy Scouts are creating a model for both boys and girls. Membership in the Girl Scouts and the Boy Scouts has declined in recent years. Both organizations have lost more than 1 million members from their highest rates. In answer, top leaders met this month to discuss working together.
