They can be chosen in 12,444 ways.

There are three different scenarios that have more boys being chosen than girls:
5 boys and 0 girls
4 boys and 1 girl
3 boys and 2 girls

We will set up combinations for all 3 of these scenarios:
(_{18}C_5\times{_{19}C_0)+(_{18}C_4\times_{19}C_1)+(_{18}C_3\times_{19}C_2)
\frac{18!}{5!13!}\times \frac{19!}{0!19!}+\frac{18!}{4!14!}\times \frac{19!}{1!18!}+\frac{18!}{3!15!}\times \frac{19!}{2!17!}
\\
\\=8568+3060+816=12444
