The girls were going to pack meetings and camping trips until one of the parents complained, which prompted a meeting on Oct. 1 where parents were told their daughters they could no longer participate with the Cub Scouts.

“They said things like it was completely inappropriate and girls would take over all of the leadership positions,” Jacobs said. “What would be inappropriate is lost on me.”

In a statement provided to ABC News, the Boy Scouts of America said it was made aware last month that a local unit was not following eligibility requirements.

“We understand that the values and the lessons of Scouting are attractive to the entire family,” the Boy Scouts of America said. “However, Cub Scouts and Boy Scouts are year-round programs for boys and young men in the first grade through age 18. Local Scouting leadership welcomes the opportunity to discuss BSA policies with the families involved, as well as potential alternative programs available."

The Unicorns plan on attending a local Scout Council meeting on Friday and handing in applications to be part of the Cub Scouts.
