There's a new item at Bobwhite Blather: 'Co-ed Cub Scouting: Not yet, but how

If you're on one of your council's committees, you might have seen the
announcement from Chief Scout Executive Michael Surbaugh last week summarizing
the discussions held at the Boy Scouts of America National Annual Meeting over

activities and interests.
