COBB COUNTY, Ga. — Some local Boy Scouts are getting used to their new uniforms. The scouts are a first in their school because they are girls.
Hayden Black and Katie Timko, both 10 years old, are some of the first members of the brand-new Cub Scout den in Cobb County for girls – Pack 700.
"I've always wanted to do it ever since first grade, ever since I heard about it because I heard about all this cool stuff," Katie told Channel 2 Action News.
Late last year, the Boy Scouts of America cleared the way for girls to join.
But a group that teaches leadership and independence for girls already calls the whole thing a disappointment.
Stouffer contacted the Girl Scouts of Greater Atlanta CEO, who said girls will do better in their girl-led, girl-focused curriculum.
