Boys and girls usually don't even like playing together as children. Lol
In your days maybe, but today it's a lot more common.

I'm 31. I was a child in the '90s and a teen in the '00s.In your days maybe, but today it's a lot more common.
One thing I do have to mention, ultimately you really do seem about as "deep south" as @Revoltingest and I. You have your views, you did place north on the compass, as far as what others do your about as permissive as I am.What is this called and why is it not represented?
Back when I was in kindergarten, boys and girls played together all the time, and it was not unusual for boys to have girl friends and vice versa. We even had mixed sports classes in the first couple of years of elementary school.Boys and girls usually don't even like playing together as children. Lol
It's interesting, because I don't remember there ever being a dedicated Girl Scout organization present in my home country. It's always been just "the Scouts" - which, in recent decades, meant "boys and girls both".You know, I cant quite remember anymore. I recall watching it play it in the newspapers years ago, and then the backlash from the Girl Scouts... Here are some articles I found that talk a bit about the changes.
Why Do the Boy Scouts Want to Include Girls?
I'm a former Girl Scout — and I think the Boy Scouts' plan to allow female members is a pseudo-progressive ploy

If I'm understanding right, they lifted the ban on girls themselves, after pressure and membership loss.

I'm a bit older than you and I can guaranty you that kids these days have changed a lot from our days. Then again, when I was a child, I often played with girls my age and today most of my friends are women. Maybe it's just you afterall.

(edit)
In either case, I don't think it's fair to segregate youth organizations based on gender. Both boys and girls have the right to choose whatever activities they deem most fun, and parents have the right to choose for their kids whatever activities they consider most fulfilling to the development of their offspring.
If boys want to bake cookies or go on trips with girls, they ought to be just as well accepted as girls who want to build tents and rough it in the wilderness.
