The old guidance barely mentioned parents
. Only saying to work with them "if supportive" [of transition]. . It set the scene for viewing parents who are not encouraging their child to transition as prejudiced. .pic.twitter.com/3QgTWwPkS4

. Gendered Intelligence, Stonewall and GIRES are added as links, but there are no links to NHS resources or organisations sceptical of gender ideology 
The new guidance has more emphasise on encouraging scouts to talk to parents, and involving them in planning together. 
But it says parents should only be informed with child's permission

The old guidance says "ideally" children should use cubicled facilities of their "true gender" (i.e. shared with children of the opposite sex). It doesn't mention anything about the privacy and comfort of the other children.
