[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here.   The question I had was whether you thought the Cub Scout program (badges, ranks, activities, system) would be good for girls, too.

I have heard that BSA is considering letting Cub Scout packs form girl-only and boy-only dens.   So the same sex environment, but girls in their second grade Wolf Den; boys in their second grade Wolf den.   Seems like everyone would come together once a month for a co-ed Cub Pack meeting, and might do some Co-Ed activities together (like the Pinewood Derby).

The girls would be fully members of the Cub Scout pack, and could earn official rank along with the other Cub Scouts (Arrow of Light).

The pack camps as a family (moms,dads, cub scouts, little siblings each in their own family tents).

I'm not that familiar with the new Cub Scout program.   I was wondering if the different activities would appeal to girls?

This is the second grade Cub Scout program as far as I am able to determine.   (It would correspond to the first year of Brownies for Girl Scouts.)

Where did you hear this?  I'm the one with the DH who is predicted Girls in Boy Scouts.

Interesting! To your question, yes, I do think girls could benefit from Cub Scouts. I was a Girl Scout, but I think they've lost their way on programming. Boy Scouts is much better. [/quote]
