Does it make sense to separate Boys and Girls into 2 different tracks? - cougarguard.com — unofficial BYU Cougars / LDS sports, football, basketball forum and message board

Boys - cub scouts, 11 year old scouts, boy scouts, varsity scouts, venturing scouts.

Girls - activity days, then whatever it is that they do in beehives/miamaids/laurels. Heck their name even has "maid" in it. I honestly don't know what they do. I see girls doing crafts, but I assume that they do not do that all the time.

We constantly hear the refrain about preparing boys for missions. Are we supposed to prepare girls for missions? Prepare boys to the righteous holders of the priesthood. What are girls supposed to be prepared for?

I hear that we should prepare boys to do the work that the EQ and HP groups do. What exactly is that work? Home teaching? Moving help? Clean the church once a year?

The Relief Society in my ward is more involved in the community and does more service than the men.

I guess we might spend 2 to 3 times more money from the ward budget on the average boy compared to the average girl.

Does that make sense?

What is it that the boys need to know that the girls don't, and vice versa?
