Indeed, I think I would. The only thing I would add is that parents not be led by the title to excluding their girls from the fun activities. (I don't have any granddaughters yet but am trying to stand up for them.) The dark side of the movement to make life more interesting for boys is making it boring for girls. (See Wild at Heart.) The whole purple-and-pink Disney princess idea makes me gag. (Though I have to admit one friend has turned it to very good use, emphasizing with her daughter that "princess is as princess does" and that the mark of a true princess is her character.)

Although she got that idea from a mutual friend of ours.

I was never actually in the Boy Scouts, but I got a couple of 50s-era scout manuals at the thrift store and loved reading them. (I think you would share my firm approval of this book: The Dangerous Book for Boys).)
