The boy scouts of America have announced for the first time they will allow girls to join. The plan is to have girls' groups and boys' groups for younger children and to allow older groups to decide whether to have single gender or to welcome mixed gender groups.
The chief scout executive Michael Surbaugh said, "The values of scouting- trustworthy, loyal, helpful, kind, brave and reverent, for example - are important for both young men and women."
