Yes things happen at home as well, but that is up to the parents to police, there shouldn’t be the risk of their daughter coming home knocked up because of your shenanigans. Not to mention we already have a problem with some cultures of boys who attack women and treat them as animals.
Abstinence works, abstinence only education does not work.
As for the cultures you mention, guess what are the only other WOSM countries that don't have co-ed Scouting? It very well could be possible that the idea of co-ed Scouting can promote the idea of boys seeing girls as more equal. Reducing the otherizing effects of hyper-patriarchal societies.
Also, I don't know of anyone getting knocked up from the shenanigans. Not saying it didn't happen, but I never heard of it happening around here and there was plenty of hanky panky. Maybe it's because we didn't rely on abstinence only education and so they knew what safe sex was and how they could have fun without actual PIV sex.
