The BSA’s record of producing leaders with high character and integrity is amazing” said Randall Stephenson, BSA’s national board chairman. “I’ve seen nothing that develops leadership skills and discipline like this organization. It is time to make these outstanding leadership development programs available to girls.”
Starting in the 2018 program year, families can choose to sign up their sons and daughters for Cub Scouts. Existing packs may choose to establish a new girl pack, establish a pack that consists of girl dens and boy dens or remain an all-boy pack. Cub Scout dens will be single-gender — all boys or all girls. Using the same curriculum as the Boy Scouts program, the organization will also deliver a program for older girls, which will be announced in 2018 and projected to be available in 2019, that will enable them to earn the Eagle Scout rank. This unique approach allows the organization to maintain the integrity of the single gender model while also meeting the needs of today’s families.
So it seems to me on the cub scout and the eagle scout level girls w be segregated, but for the weblows and boy scouts they will be integrated.
Except it doesn't say that at all, that's you reading into it. All it says is that the cub scouts will be segregated, the eagle scouts plan will be released next year, and then it concludes that they are maintaining the single-gender model.
There's NOTHING in there about their plan for the weblows or boy scouts. You are speculating based on absolutely no evidence. Unless you can point me to a statement where they explicitly say their plans for the weblows and boy scouts are to integrate, you are talking crap. If anything their concluding line suggests they don't want to integrate because they specifically mention the "integrity" of the single gender model. So yeah, unless you have actual evidence, there's no reason to presume they are doing anything you've said so far.
