Other than the color of their life jackets being yellow, did anyone actually
say they were from the girl scouts? I don't remember you saying that you
actually heard that from them.

If these were boys scouts would you have been just as offended? You seemed
to really be dogging them out because they were girls.

I'd like to know this too. If the girls were really part of GSUSA,
their leaders were not following the basic safety and training
guidelines of the organization. I do canoe instruction for my GSUSA
council, and we always start with flat water. Only girls 7th grade and
up can do any moving water, and that is only if they have already
trained on flat water.

My guess is that it was a church group or Y group. Did you see any adults?
