We dont have that problem, as over here our beavers, cubs, scouts and explorer scouts are all mixed groups, it works very well, has done for years, there is no boy girl thing, we are all scouts and get on with scouting, lots of countries now have mixed scouting, Canada, South Africa, Australia and New Zealand, I am sure BP would approve, were he here today, it is a forward move and you know what they say about forward movement.
" to be a movement you have to move forward, if you dont move forward it becomes an organisation, if it is an organisation, then it isnt Scouting ".
