Nope boys CANNOT join the girlscouts.
Girl Scouts respond to BSA: We’ll remain the “first choice” for girls
“Girl Scouts is the premier leadership development organization for girls. We are, and will remain, the first choice for girls and parents who want to provide their girls opportunities to build new skills, explore STEM and the outdoors, participate in community projects, and grow into happy, successful, civically engaged adults.
EDIT:
according to Fox news, the girlscouts will let boys in at some point. But it's Fox news so take it with a grain of salt..
"The Girl Scouts said their organization was blindsided by the move and are planning an aggressive campaign to ramp up recruitment numbers
"We're trying to find the right way to say we're here for both young men and young women."
- Chief Scout Executive Mike Surbaugh"
