[quote=Anonymous]Beginning in February Scouts BSA will offer only separate and sex-segregated Troops.  The program is not co-ed.    The boy Troops will meet separately and will be entirely unaffected and continue as-is.  Nothing is being lost in terms of boys being able to be exclusively with boys.  There will eventually be some existing troops at churches that will decide to sponsor a separate all-girl Troop.  But, the guidelines are that the meetings are to be separate.  Our parent group is starting the new all-girl Troop for NW DC to start in February, and we will be selecting a sponsor (called a "chartered partner" in BSA language) that does not currently sponsor a Troop.  We will be all-girl and girl-led using the historic BSA "patrol" method.  We will welcome experienced youth leaders and those new to youth service.  We are not going to compare an all-girl Scouts BSA Troop to other youth organizations.  But, we are very happy there are so many options available for DC girls and boys.  Choice is good.[/quote]
