I did girl guides Australia and it was awesome . We did some girly stuff in meetings but we went camping all the time and it was badass . Also I learned way more about being female in guides than I did in primary sex ed . I am firmly supportive of female only clubs , schools etc for this reason . Girls need spaces to be girls and be comfortable and grow with each other . In Australia , Boy Scouts allows girls now , which hasn ' t seemed to be a huge problem though naturally girls get left behind as the focus remains on boys in the group . I believe girl guides are now allowing transed boys , which I obviously disagree with , though I can ' t imagine it ' s a huge problem individual patrols could probably prevent a boy trying to join if they didn ' t want him there .
