Re: Parents File Lawsuit Against Boy Scout Troop

When none of our local girl scout troops was willing to let me join
because the leaders didn't want to deal with my CP mobility issues,(almost
40 years ago) my mother solved the problem by becoming an official  scout
leader herself and then invited my only disabled classmate and 10-15 of
the
able bodied girls in our neighborhood to join the troop.
