It had to happen eventually, folks: The Girl Scouts are squaring off against the Boy Scouts, and hooboy it is not gonna go well for the one with all the sexual abuse. (SNS for spoilers.) I mean, look: In the Boy Scouts' defense, is there anything inherently wrong with a crypto-militaristic, consistently right-wing group founded in the depths of British Imperialism?
... Yes! Yes. Of course there is. Jesus Christ. Anyway, the good news is we'll also be learning about the Girl Scouts this week, which is a much more uplifting tale. Except the part about the murders BUT THOSE WERE NOT DONE BY GIRL SCOUTS, OKAY
Which leads me to the CONTENT WARNING: There is discussion of some horrific murder right around the two-hour mark that lasts for about 10 minutes, so if you want to skip that, it's totally understandable. We've added chapter markers if you want to skip over it, though I don't know if that works in iTunes or whatever.
