Parents may believe that by putting their child in boy/girl scouts they are going to be learning life lessons, however, at an early age boy and girl scouts are encouraging gender roles.This article brings to light how boys are taught to be something important, like scientist, while girls are being taught to just enjoy the science. The article points out that the boys badge (left) is called the astronomer, while the girls badge (right) is called sky search. This is an example to how society is establishing gender roles and setting expectations for genders early in life.
