but I found a higher meaning-
I realized I had the wrong idea."
In reference to the camp-outs,
one of the troop's foremost activi-
ties, Scout Phil Krupp perceived
at once that the girls "made sure
everyone does their job. I would
ask sometimes if I could help if I
saw something like chopping wood
giving a girl trouble, but I got a
pretty consistent answer . . . just
a polite 'no thank-you."'
Mariner Troop 1, a senior high
school-aged scout troop, is com-
prised of about 40 girls and 15.
boys. Eight of 10 of the boys turned
out to be regular participants in
troop activities during the experi-
mental year.
In the beginning, a few boys re-
lated feelings of difficulty in ad-
justing.
"I didn't feel at home right
away," concedes Bon Foster.
"There was a lot of pairing-off at
first which caused tension. But
pressure from the girls made it
stop. Also as the guys were ac-
cepted more, they spread out."
Acceptance of the boys was in-
dicated in a vote recently taken. In
deciding the future of the boys in
the troop, four-fifths of the girls
endorsed a permanently co-ed
troop.
"I voted for the boys because
they had become my friends. I
couldn't vote friends out," empa-

perience.
"For a lot of people it was over-
coming social roles," concludes
Foster, who along with Krupp, has
now achieved the rank of officer
in the troop.
"I've appreciated boys as peo-
ple rather than dates," says Amy.
"We achieved more of a brother-
sister relationship."
Although the boys are accepted
by the local Huron Valley branch
of the Girl Scouts, the national Girl
Scout office has not recognized
them. In contrast, the Boy Scout
Explorers have in past years en-
couraged girls to join and recog-
nized them as members.
Margaret Dice, advisor for Girl
Scout Mariner Troop 1, hypothe-
sizes that the Girl Scouts may be
more appealing for those seeking
a co-ed experience because the
Boy Scouts are more structured
with less emphasis on self-deter-
mination.
The idea of co-ed scouting has
begun to spread. Of the 362 local
Girl Scout offices across the na-
tion, 39 are in the midst of similar
experimentation.
"It really doesn't matter to us if
we're recognized by the National
Council," says Charlie Van Boven,
"but if it will help spread accept-
ance of co-ed scouting, I'm all for
it."
