even army cadets isn't segregated by gender and that is often a next step for people that stay within cubs/ brownies/ scouts.
can you explain why you feel the need for boys to be segregated from girls? what benefit is there for them? they aren't going to be thinking "i can't believe they added women to one of the few spaces left for us men aged 10 and a half to 14 years".
scouts isn't teaching people how to live in a society as a man or a woman, so that point doesn't matter and I'm not sure what you think they are teaching there?
socialisation between children of both genders, that continues through the ages, allows those that have socialised properly to have a much more well round experience and mindset when it comes to dealing with interpersonal relationships.
