Q. Which countries have single gender Scouting or Guiding?
A. Scouting varies greatly around the world, there are
fully co-ed programs (with no options) to single gender at some levels
(typically pre-teen) then co-ed optional after that (which is what the
BSA is), to co-ed at all levels, to fully single gender (which is what
the
GSUSA is).
In some cases, the boy and girl programs are handled separately
but the organizations are united into
a Scout or Guide group. You can get a good idea by looking at
the symbol of Scouting in that country. If the trefoil of the girls is
combined with the fleur-de-lis of boys, the movements are combined in
some
manner. More information about the specifics of each country can be
found at
their sites on the web.
