Recently, Archuleta wanted to sign Bobby up for Girl Scouts. His older sister did it, and Bobby really wanted to join. Archuleta told 9NEWS when she brought Bobby to register, a troop leader told her Bobby couldn't join.

However, the Girl Scouts of Colorado rebuffed the troop leader and said,

"Girl Scouts is an inclusive organization and we accept all girls in Kindergarten through 12th grade as members. If a child identifies as a girl and the child's family presents her as a girl, Girl Scouts of Colorado welcomes her as a Girl Scout. Our requests for support of transgender kids have grown, and Girl Scouts of Colorado is working to best support these children, their families and the volunteers who serve them. In this case, an associate delivering our program was not aware of our approach. She contacted her supervisor, who immediately began working with the family to get the child involved and supported in Girl Scouts. We are accelerating our support systems and training so that we're better able to serve all girls, families and volunteers."

So what do the scouts teach children? Well the Girl Scouts teach that everyone is important and should be judged by their character, that diversity is good. While the Boy Scouts teach that it is Okay to discriminate, that bigotry is Okay. Which do you think is the more valuable lesson to teach children.

Note: the Supreme Court has ruled that the Boy Scouts are a private organization and can discriminate against atheists, agnostics, gays and transgender.
