I'm not clear what you mean by iteration.  I sympathize with any struggling unit, but the point is that at least there is a unit for those boys; at least there is a hall to walk across. Girls in a lot of places aren't wanted or welcomed despite the nice words. You can see that in many of the anonymous comments here.  People want to go back to the 1960s. No girls. That's what girls and women are encountering, and it's kind of hard to assimilate and find help in environments like that. If a special camporee helps, I support it. The net effect will ultimately mean more people experienced in scouting who can help future boys and girls like the ones in the struggling troop you cite.  

This is at least the third or fourth iteration. There are boy troops younger than this and there are no special camporees being offered for them.  We're trying to stand up troops in areas devoid of scouting with leaders who have no scouting experience.  There are no special camporees for them.  There are ample opportunities for training available for both youth and adults.  I don't know of too many girl troops that don't have a boy troop in the same CO.  I do know of boy troops that have a Tenderfoot for an SPL.  Those kids are pretty much left to fend for themselves in a program that was designed to help them escape the poverty of the cities.  If anyone needs special events, it's those kids, not the girl troops who can simply walk across the hall and ask an older Scout in a boy troop.

My view is that such events have a targeted role in the short term while the organization is laboring -- still somewhat clumsily -- to adjust to the addition of girls. It's not exactly the same as leveling subject area courses for cohorts of kids who missed school opportunities due to things like Covid or disaster displacements, but it's a similar situation and approach. We have camporees for physically challenged scouts or other unique circumstances, so it's not like it's setting any precedents. There have been undeniable challenges for girls and girl units in scouting -- the start did not go smoothly -- and many units have struggled for access, skills building, etc. If in the short term this helps winnow away those challenges, I don't have a problem with it. If it's still needed in a few years, then scouting has more insurmountable girl problems than camporees. 

How do you figure that only aiming to increasing female membership is acceptable?  I also don't see any mention of this as a recruiting event.  It's a camporee.  Those are for active Scouts, not the general public.  Is demographic-based Scouting events where we really want to go?  That seems to fly in the face of universal brotherhood and becomes an "othering" type of program.  

Agreed. That concept should no longer be done. I’m not in support of coed troops, but I am also not in support of girl only camporees or summer camp weeks.
