last time I made a "scout" thread..

But scouting can still be those things for the boys. Including girls won't change that. There can be character building for both sexes, and it may be even more effective having the opposite sex around so you can learn about them and learn to interact with them -
how to treat women well if you're a guy and how to treat men well if you're a woman. Including girls won't take away from male character building. It will simply add another very important element to it, and give them the opportunity to put that into practice directly.

And lets face it, your lot just smell better.

Dunno about you, but I smell fabulous.  Like a unicorn's armpit.
