"They" is not referring to Girl Scouts but to those parents pushing to make Boy Scouts coed instead of pushing to make Girl Scouts more adventurous, rugged and focused on outdoor skills.[/quote]

Hasn't it occurred to you that the parents pushing to make a Cub Scout program available to their daughters as well as their sons might just be looking for a sensible solution that fits their lives?

I have heard of a pack where the boys all meet one night a week for den meetings, and someone takes the girls to a different room and they do similar activities there, under the Learning for Life program.  Parent's LOVE the convenience and the girls like the Cub Scout program just as much as the boys do.   [/quote]

Then they should sign up for a coed scout group like Fireside.[/quote]

Never heard of Fireside, but why reinvent the wheel?  If I like the Cub Scout program and think it is pretty good, and think it would be great for my daughter too, I'd like to just start a Cub Scout for Girls den or two in our pack.   Makes sense -- my daughter does all the camping and activities, we always have a siblings section for the competitions; the siblings come along on the outdoor trips. -- all the younger sisters are there anyhow.  It's not like the pack meeting is in any way a same sex environment.

Why shouldn't BSA take my registration money since it's already basically happening?[/quote]
