Not that i know of. But that didn't matter they were there. And having the Girls up there change the feel of summer for my boys. The camp directors where probably pulling their hair out all summer long trying to keep the staff separate.
I see what your saying and that could be one more straw but they have Girls on summer camp staff and that didn't break the camels back.

Yeah our troop went to the Bear Lake camp recently. All the boys could talk about is a girl staff member that was there.

Girls are currently allowed to join Venturing programs outside of the LDS Church. Salem community used to sponsor a Venturing group which consisted of a few young women.
Shocked a few of our Varsity and Venture's a few years ago when "girls" showed up to the Turkey Shoot and won a few of the events. They weren't too happy about it either.
I personally don't like the idea.

Really? Did they catch cooties or something?

Probably not.

This is nothing new. Females have been working at scout camps for many decades. If the scouts can't handle this, then they either shouldn't be in scouting or have poor leadership.Utah is a very special and unique place. There is no where else like it on earth. Please take care of it and keep the remaining wild areas in pristine condition. The world will be a better place if you do.

No luckily they didn’t get cooties. But they acted different with the girls there. There is times when boys just need to be around boys and girls just be around girls and it’s good for them to have that experience.
Actual we talked to the camp program director about it and if he had any problems with the coed staff and he said from what I remember. He sent one or two staff member’s home that year already for that reason.
Ya I also worked at East Fork of the Bear at camp Tomahawk and Silver Moccasin from 1990 to1993. The only girls I saw was the wife’s of the few adult camp staff members. These older women worked at the trading post and the commissary. It was nice to be able to focus on what we were there for. And not who thought who was cute and who liked who. And what they were doing by the lake last night.
Boys will be Boys and Boys are Scouts. They all handle interaction with girls differently no matter who is leading them. In my opinion there is nothing wrong with keeping the genders separated at camp one week a year.

As far as the change in behavior when the women were there, yes there might be some of that, but it is usually having the scouts being better behaved when the girls were around. They may have thought one of the staff were cute, but when the girls were around there were fewer discussions about farts, crap, belches, and the other things that scouts talk about. Overall, having the girls around was a positive and not a negative.Utah is a very special and unique place. There is no where else like it on earth.

What the BSA will be losing without the varsity scouting:
The Church represents 85% of all funding for BSA, so the numbers below are heartbreaking to the BSA
Boy Scout Math
14-18: Lost revenue for registration of 350k @ $24 ea = $8,400,000
14-18: Lost revenue for FOS of 350k @ $225 ea = $78,750,000

I suspect that the high adventure camps are going to start being sold off or closed pretty soon with this change. At least in Utah, Idaho, Wyoming, and Arizona LDS troops make up a large majority of scouts. There's no way they can keep all of the camps open without that support. They will keep some of them open, but there's no way to keep them all open with a loss of revenue like that.
The BSA is putting on a brave face right now, but you know they have to be worried about what this means for them.
