What about the groups that are co-ed?
Or did that not take off?
I know they wanted to turn the scouts co-ed or something along those lines.

Scouts Canada is indeed co-ed (I think there might be some guys only units though). Guides said that they don't intend to go co-ed because they wanted to encourage leadership for girls.
ETA: I should add that Scouts went co-ed just before they showed that some boys too learn better in a single-sex environment. Guides decided not to go co-ed because the studies for girls were released back in the late 80s-early 90s. BTW, I believe that the Scouting branches for older kids went co-ed long before Beavers, Cubs and Scouts did.
