Scouts BSA Troop 130G, the first all-girl unit in the city of Alexandria, was honored this week to host Senior Judge Barbara Milano Keenan, US Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit, to discuss the rights and responsibilities of citizenship.
During a Q&A, Keenan brought the Constitution directly to the Scouts with a case where the court ruled in June that gender-based school dress codes, and a requirement that girls wear skirts, can violate the Constitution and Title IX. “No, kids can’t vote, but you have the responsibility to learn, to be an informed citizen in adulthood.”
