This at least was more defensible than the previous change to membership policy allowing in active homosexual adults as unit leaders. I've seen plenty of girls that would have made excellent Boy Scouts. On the other hand, there are situations when I thnik it's appropriate for single-gender activities -- not the least of which is when I'm giving safety instructions. I saw enough boys going for night hikes down to the nearby Girl Scout camp when I was a Scout myself that I know we're not not going to stop nature.

I once thought I would die in a Scout uniform. No more.
