Another recent change has been to allow boys and girls to shower and sleep separately after the age of ten or eleven, if they find a mixed group disturbing-as many do.

...education remains a troublesome subject. Ex-Scouts remember the cold-shower-and-vigorous-exercise defense against temptation. Or the masturbation-won't-harm -you -but-it-causes-worry gambit. The eighth edition merely suggests that sex questions be asked of qualified adults. That is probably the wisest course. It represents a break with the tradition of partial enlightenment or downright misinformation, going back to the 1911 first edition, with its terrifying and confused theory of conserving vital fluids...
