Is it only in the US in which Scouts are called Boy Scouts? It's just been called "Scouts" here in Australia for as long as I can remember, I was a member about 20 years ago and we had quite a few girls in our group back then.
- dstyrb 11y agoNot sure, for boys it goes cub scouts then boy scouts. But there'a an analogous girls organization that goes brownies to girl scouts. I've not a clue what the girls organization does at meetings, but they're famous for selling thin mint cookies and being overtly over sexualized to teenage boys.
- hartror 11y agoYeah my troop had plenty of girls in the mid 90s.
- notatoad 11y agoit seems like most countries have moved to co-ed programs. I know it's just been "Scouts" since i was a kid 20 years ago in Canada too. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scouting#Co-educational https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scouting#Co-educational
