why cant girlscouts just go camping...
It makes no sense was just publicity moves.
Why not just have COED bathrooms and showers in the schools

I mean "Boy" is still in the name.
But some folks just feel their manhood threatened at every turn.
For Cub Scouting (ages 5-11), boys and girls must be in separate dens, which are sub-units of packs, which is the Cub Scout version of a troop.
For Scouting (ages 12-18), they must be in separate troops.
For Venturing (ages 14-21), there is no separation.
Yes, Girl Scouts go camping, but there are major differences between the programs on many different levels. There is also a matter of resources, infrastructure, and international status (BSA is a part of WOSM, while GSUSA is not, which allows more international opportunities for members of BSA).
But, what everyone needs to realize is this has nothing to do with the BSA caring about gender equality or what have you. This is because enrollment numbers have been down and this was seen as a way to boost revenue. That's it. This is a bottom line decision that is being made.
