Message: [QUOTE="CL82, post: 2767486, member: 44"] I've heard from one veteran Scouter that plan was for separation by Troop, not Patrol. He's fairly well connected, but I hadn't heard that elsewhere. Are you sure their will be co-ed troops? Co-ed troops will provide some supervision challenges, which aren't insurmountable. Although I'd be cautious not to under estimate the ingenuity of a teenage boy when it comes to matters of the opposite sex. As I'm sure you know, the GSA program used to be very parallel to BSA's. The current program is, in my opinion, a mess. It really needs to back to roots, much like the program revisions that took place in Boy Scouts under Bill Hillcourt's guidance in the late 70's. I see no transition difficulties all at the Cub Scout level. That really is family based already. I'm suspect that there will be more challenges at the Boy Scout level, though I do think that extending the excellent BSA program to girls is a good thing overall. [/QUOTE]
