And I’ll bet you’re in favor of men using the women’s restrooms too

It wouldn't have been an issue when I was a Cub Scout and then a Boy
Scout/Sea Scout.

Little Scouts met at someone's home once a week. The bathrooms were
private, once person at a time. The monthly meetings were held at a
public school, where there were male and female bathrooms. When I
"graduated" to the older Scout groups, we first met in the basement of a
Catholic church, where there were male and female bathrooms, and then we
met at a synagogue, where there also were male and female bathrooms.

It would have been easy to arrange proper "accommodations" when we all
went camping...in tents.

So, raising the bathroom issue when discussing the merging of boy scout
and girl scout units is silly. Sure, there may be times when it isn't so
easy to arrange things, but so what? Life is complicated. Merging the
genders makes it easier for working parents to ensure the kids have the
advantages of scouting without having the difficulties of taking a boy
to one place and a girl to a different place. Improves socialization
skills, top, I'd guess.
