About time indeed.

Scouts Canada has been completely co-ed since 1998.

Canada's population is not as chauvinistic as many in US. Yea for Canada.

This will spell the death of Girl Scouts. Like the YMCA going CoEd has marginalized the YWCA to a struggling organization dealing with abuse and sheltering women.

I guess it depends on your worldview whether it's chauvinistic or valuable. For whatever reason, folks like to pretend boys and girls, male and female are not different when in fact, they are. They think differently, they tend to different ways of thinking, they have different concerns, different plumbing, all kinds of good reasons to have an all-male organization. Men and women were created for different roles and recognizing that isn't chauvinistic..it's accurate.

However if your worldview is that we all arrived here by some random chance mutation of evolution without design or purpose...then who cares about any of it anyway? In the near future we'll all be worm dirt and no one will remember us or care.

I guess I don't understand why they want to be Boy Scouts rather than Girl Scouts!

This is sad actually. There are times, especially at this age that boys and girls need their own groups to socialize. This sounds old fashioned to libs but it does have value. I was a scout, made Eagle (It is in the 100th year anniversary Eagle book for those doubters) and valued the time spent doing things we did as boys. Hard to quantify but had there been girls it would not have been the same.

The children participating in Scouting aside, My gut feeling is that this was more in response to the membership decline of a once Christian organization due to the acceptance of Gay Scoutmasters and Gay Scouts. What could possibly go wrong there? With the departure of many Christians, they now have to make up their numbers, so why not invite in the women. Again, what could possibly go wrong with that? From a high of 12 million to now about 2 million. Given all the other gender classifications being dreamed up, this problem is only getting worse. Another Liberal social experiment going awry. All the wrong results for all the right reasons.

Perhaps it will change to Boy Scout cookies, or simply Scout cookies, or, heaven forbid, Unisex cookies😩.
