    Hi,
    My daughter was a Ladybird which was girls only and is now a brownie which is girls only, when I was looking for a beaver pack for my son it seems to be all mixed and the same for cubs and scouts? When I was involved it used to be clearly divided with Beavers/Cubs and Scouts for boys and Brownies Guides for girls, it seems to be the same now for girls but has it changed for the boys side?
    Is this the same for all Scout packs as a general rule?

    Thanks for any info

    Most are mixed and should be IMO.

    47th Ballybrack had first female scout in the country if the rumours are to be believed.

    It would be (slightly) more likely for ex CSI troops to be single sex I reckon rather than the more liberal SAI side

    Unless a section has never had girls apply or has trouble finding female leaders, then realistically they should be mixed at this stage. I haven't seen any boys only groups in years.
