Seems to work pretty well in countries that don't have different scout organizations for boys and girls.

- JoeAltmaier 14y agoI deny that; it seems implausible. But I have no more information than you.
- jacalata 14y agoWhat are you denying exactly? I am from Australia where they have mixed troops. Yes, it works pretty well.
- vinkelhake 14y agoYou're right in that you have no more information about it than me. I spent some 8 years in such an organization so I probably know a lot more about it. It worked really well. Mixed troops are fairly common in the rest of the world.
- JoeAltmaier 14y agoWell, we have mixed Troops too, at the age of 14 and above, and its optional. But below that, a Boys-only club (and Girls-only as well of course) works pretty good for us. I'm glad your experience was good. 8 years - so you must be an Eagle Scout? Or do you do that differently?
- vinkelhake 14y agoNo, we don't have the concept of Eagle Scouts. We did have merit badges, but there wasn't much focus on getting them. We did spend a lot of time learning practical things that would help us on hikes.
