UK Scouting is fully non-gendered for all ages; see Scouting for All and the Equal Opportunities Policy: http://scouts.org.uk/about-us/key-policies/equal-opportuniti....

UK Guiding allows girls and young women, but fully supports gender self-identification: https://www.girlguiding.org.uk/making-guiding-happen/policie....

Scouting and Guiding in the UK are refreshingly progressive organisations. Source: current Scout leader.

So what your saying is: as a self-identified male, I can't be a UK Guide? Sounds gendered to me.

God only knows what those boys would get up to if they had freedom of association! ;- )

No, you can't. Because girls need a safe space to be girls (without any boys around) a lot more than boys need any more spaces where they can be boys without any girls around (there's enough of those).

"all ages" - but everyone beavers is male only, right?

No, anyone can join any of the scouting age groups.
