Thanks for sharing your knowledge of the leadership structure of the Boy Scouts.
With that, it is evident that the exact leadership structure you have outlined made the decision to make the BSA a co-ed organization.
Do you agree with the Boy Scout Troop Leaders that made the decision to go co-ed?
Well I hate to make your case for you, to a degree, but that is a very moot point. So the truth is, that one major category of Boy Scouting has been fully coed for almost fifty years.
Probably one of the major changes with Exploring was it going co-ed. In 1969, girls could participate with post programs as "Explorer Participants" not members, however they had to be members of an 'associated' group like Girl Scouts or Camp Fire. Then in April of 1971, Explorers officially went co-ed. Girls would be admitted to posts as determined by their chartering organization. Also in 1971, the upper age of Exploring was raised to 20 from 17. By the 1990s, girls comprised about half of Explorer membership.My Explorer Post did not go coed in 1971. We specialized in winter camping and outdoor cooking. I think it would still be hard to get a girl to spend an "Eskimo Weekend" in a pup tent in below freezing weather with snow falling.
I feel that Cub Scouts and Boy Scouts should not have female members. It completely spoils the male camaraderie. Urinating on the campfires of the boys in a different patrol. Five mile hikes into the wilderness with packs and tents for five days to a week. Ribald skits at meetings. Gross boy shenanigans. The whole tone and morale would change with a girl present.
Since Explorer Scouts are the senior category they are better able to adjust to more young adult interactions in a coed Explorer Post depending on the specialty defined in the Post's Charter. Preferably that would be a progression from the character building guidance of the earlier Packs and Troops without girls.
