Intlanganiso yeHlabathi yamakhwenkwe kunye neNtombazana
Ukuwa kokugqibela, i-Boy Scouts yaseMelika ibhengeze ukuba iyakwamkela amantombazana phakathi kwabo. Ngelo xesha, ezi ndaba zazingakhange zidibane nomdla ovela kwi-Girl Scouts. Emuva ngo-Agasti ka-2017, phambi kokuba kwenziwe isibhengezo esisemthethweni, uKathy Hopinkah Hannan, uMongameli we-GSUSA, wathumela ileta kwintloko ye-BSA, etyhola eli qela ngokungcatsha ubudlelwane babo beminyaka eli-100 kwaye bezama ngokufihlakeleyo ukugaya amantombazana, kunye ne-badmouthing ye-Girl Scouts ukuze yenze njalo.
La maqela mabini ebexelwe ukuba asebenzisane okwexeshana, kodwa ke iBSA iqhubekile yaqala ukuba ndlongondlongo… kwiintlanganiso zakutshanje ezichaza inkqubo yamantombazana ecetywayo. Njengoko uHannan echazile kwileta yakhe, Oku kubandakanya yonke into ukusuka ekuhlaziseni nakwintetho engeyonyani malunga nenkqubo ye-Girl Scout, ukuya kwiziphumo ezifihlakeleyo malunga nobuthathaka bamandla entengiso ye-Girl Scouts. Ukuqala nayiphi na inkqubo xa abantu besiva ukuxhatshazwa akuhambelani neenjongo zokusekwa kweeNkwenkwe zeScouts okanye iiScout Scouts. Ndiyakucenga ukuba ugwebe le ndlela yokuziphatha kumbutho wakho kwaye wenze iziphumo kwezi zenzo.
I-Girl Scouts zase-USA azivumelani kwaphela nesigqibo kunye namaqhinga asetyenziswa yi-Boy Scouts yaseMelika ukwenza umbutho wabo udityaniswe. Isikhundla esisemthethweni se-Girl Scouts kukuba iinkqubo ezichongiweyo zesini esinye zinceda amantombazana ngaphezu kokudityaniswa kwaye inkqubo engxamisekileyo yokubandakanya iya kubangela ukuba amantombazana abekelwe bucala kwaye acalucalulo ngaphakathi kumbutho. UHannan wayibiza ngokuba ngumbono omfutshane ukucinga ukuba ukuqhuba inkqubo eyenzelwe ngokukodwa amakhwenkwe kunokuguqulelwa kumantombazana.

Ukuphinda-phinda: IiBoy Scouts zenze esi sigqibo zodwa. Ii-Girl Scouts zazingabandakanyekanga kuphela kodwa zalwa ngokuchasene nesigqibo.
Ke kutheni ndingothuswa kukubona i-intanethi igcwele ngabantu bethuka i-Girl Scouts, iinkululeko, kunye nabafazi ngokubanzi, isibhengezo ukuba ii-Boy Scouts zaseMelika zitshintsha igama labo zii-BSA ezingathathi cala kwezesini.
I-Boy Scouts kunye ne-Scouts BSA zihamba phambili kwi-Twitter naku-Facebook namhlanje, kodwa andizukucebisa ukuba ujonge izimvo. Yiyo yonke into eyenziwa ngabantu abathandana nabantu abathandana nabantu besini esinye, ubundlobongela obunokulindelwa ngabantu abaguqule lo mbandela waba yingxaki kwaye bacinga ukuba le yinxalenye yoluhlobo lwe-ajenda yenkululeko eqhutywa ngabasetyhini ukonakalisa ii-Boy Scouts kunye nokwenza amakhwenkwe amakhwenkwe.
Ndiqinisekile ukuba maninzi amantombazana azakuvuyela ukujoyina i-Boy Scouts, kwaye ngubani onokuthi aphumelele kuloo ndawo. (Kwaye ezinye iinkqubo ze-Boy Scouts sele zifumanekile kumantombazana kwaye bezikhe zakhona kangangexesha elithile.) Kodwa njengoko i-Girl Scouts ihlala igcina, kukho izibonelelo ezingenakuthelekiswa nanto kwimibutho echongiweyo yesini esinye, ngakumbi kwihlabathi apho nantoni na yenzelwe okanye ithengiselwe abafazi bacingelwa ukuba ngokuzalwa bangaphantsi. Ngapha koko, yile mbono ithukisayo nengachanekanga yokuba iiBoy Scouts bezixhaphaza kwilinge labo lokuqala lokufumana amantombazana. (Into abayenzileyo, ewe, ukuphelisa ubulungu babo obucekelelayo.)
Kuyinyani engeyiyo into yokuba umfanekiso we-Girl Scouts awusoloko uphila kumbutho uqobo. Abantu bahlala beqhubela phambili izimvo ezingeyonyani, njengengqondo ephosakeleyo yokuba akukho nto ilingana ne-Eagle Scout. (Iya kuba njalo iMbasa yeGolide kwaye iyamangalisa.) Okanye inkolelo yokuba zonke iiNtombazana eziScouts ziyazithengisa ii-cookies. (Uxolo, ubonile iibheji zokukhaba i-Girl Scouts ibonelela?)
Akukho khuphiswano. IGirl Scouts ngumbutho oBONELEKILEYO onika amantombazana amathuba angenakuthelekiswa nanto okufunda izakhono zenkulungwane yama-21 kunye nokuzixhobisa ngamava abawadingayo ukuze baphumelele ebomini. https://t.co/D8U2mpWVT7 pic.twitter.com/vzX2gmX6nH

Ungayichazanga eyokuba, i-Girl Scouts kudala ibandakanyeke ngakumbi kune-BSA, ivumela amalungu e-transgender ukuba ajoyine ngo-2011, iminyaka emibini ngaphambi kokuba ii-Boy Scouts ziyeke ukuvalwa kwamalungu angama-gay, kunye neminyaka emithandathu ngaphambi kokuba i-BSA yamkele amalungu e-trans.
Njengoko u-Hannan watshoyo kwileta yakhe ye-Agasti ephelileyo, endaweni yokufuna ukuguqula i-BSA ibe yinkqubo edibeneyo, sikholelwa ngamandla ukuba i-Boy Scouts kufuneka endaweni yoko ithathe amanyathelo okuqinisekisa ukuba bayayandisa inkqubo yabo kubo bonke abafana, kubandakanya nabo Ngubani i-BSA ngokwembali eyayingasindiswanga kwaye imelwe kakubi, njengamakhwenkwe ase-Afrika aseMelika nawaseLatino.
Ukuba iiScouts BSA zizibophelele ekwenzeni inkqubo yazo idityaniswe, kwaye ukuba abantu bakufumanisa kunzima ukuyamkela le nto, ubuncinci, banokujolisa umsindo wabo kwicala elifanelekileyo.
