[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]But this does not take into account that in many (if not most) areas there will not be enough interested girls to field entire dens and programs (after all they will now be competing with Girl ascouts to draw in girls). So either girls will have to drive farther to find "girl" Boy Scout troops, or they are going to push the it's not fair narrative (it won't be) that they are prevented from just joining their local pack, den or troop, and pressure boy scout troops that were told by BSA they would be allowed to remain single gender to be forced to become coed to accomodate the 2-4 girls at each grade who aren't enough to staff a troop of their own and who shouldn't need to drive a neighborhood or two away to find a girl Boy Scout troop.

Boy scouts should not go coed, especially the way they are proposing. Saying that individual packs and dens will have the option of choosing to remain boy only is a lie and tuey know it. In very short order single gender boy scouting will be over if they go with what BSA is proposing.[/quote]

I think you are right but for the wrong reason.  I think more girls will join cub scouting dens in a co-ed pack, not just two or 4. The girl only dens will be active and fun and well organized and will do neat things, and the boys will be drawn to these dens and want to take part.   Pretty soon you will have co ed dens but because the girls were pressured to take in the boys![/quote]
