You could go up and down the subdivision and ask if any 3 or 4 year olds live there and invite them to go camping with you and your son.

Yeah, looking back on my decision to start this thread, I don’t know what I thought would happen.

Maybe he doesn't want his kid to learn how to bake and wash clothes as a hobby

Baseball... Football..... Sports teach kids more about life lessons (winning, losing, working hard, pushing oneself to be better, practice, etc.)than boy scouts. IMHO.
In my joyful youth, we made fun of boys in boy scouts...

Get a few dads together and do campouts. Come up with a few tasks you want the kids to be able to do on the camp.

Unfortunately, Boy Scouts has had its own problems with child molesters just like many other youth groups.

A friend of ours is an adult leader for Royal Rangers. Seems very similar to BSA but church based.

But don't just right off BSA. If you find a good Scout pack or troop the girl inclusion thing won't matter. My son is in working on Life right now and everything we have heard from the leadership is that it will be up to the charter orginizations if they want to have girl packs/troops. There will not be mixed Troops anytime soon.

Correct. I don't think there will ever be mixed troops unless you go to Venture, Crew, or Explorers.

And the scouting bsa troops are not co-ed. I don't see that ever changing.

Even at the den level in cub scouts, it is not going to be co-ed (I do see a possibility with poor leadership where a girls den might merge with a boys den. With a lack of leadership, I've had 2nd and 3rd graders working together before. The charter organizations and pack leaders may need to be very clear about what happens if a girls den leader moves or leaves scouting).
