My troop had zero couples in my entire time. All coed all the time including tenting together. -
It does not appear to have been any real issue in the larger World Scouting. Adolescent youth are just that, and a coed unit is no more a real problem than simply having classes together or even going to Sunday school. It is normal life for youth, and the coed part is NOT the problem, if there is one. It is poor supervision and lack of parental involvement to teach right and wrong. JMHO of course. -
I know of several youth couples in separate troops that attend OA events regularly, work summer camp staff together and are even in the same Venturing crew. The reality is the potential is already there, and no one is staying up all night to supervise. -

I was going to ask exactly what sort of recruiting support your council provides. Ours provides nothing. They might print up some flyers that are universal. That's not helpful. They don't send anyone to the schools. They don't show up at open houses to help out.
