I wouldn't worry too much about this move by the BSA. The real reason doesn't seem to be a need to have a mixed gender organization but more a financial need in that they're not attracting enough boys.
When I was a kid, every boy in the neighborhood belonged to the boy scouts. Now, I don't see them at all.
What we're probably witnessing is the end of the organization as I really don't see that many girls yammering to get into the Boy Scouts.
Don't know if it is true, but I read that 25 percent of the memebership quit when they decided to bring in the girls.
