Boy Scouts Changing Name To 'Scouts BSA,' As Girls Welcomed Into Program

#ThanksTrump

I loved being a boy scout good times when I was a kid going camping with other boys my age and making some lifelong friends and learning lots of survival skills. I can't see having those same experiences with girls along for the ride that's what the Cub Scouts program is for , boys and girls.

Boyscouts was about male bonding with peers, now that's gone. Girl scouts will remain girls only. WTF? Sad

What do you think?

Boy Scouts Changing Name To 'Scouts BSA,' As Girls Welcomed Into Program

The Boy Scouts of America, or BSA, announced last fall that it would begin allowing girls to become Scouts — much to the frustration of the Girl Scouts, which has advocated for single-gender scouting.

The rebranding of the Boy Scouts program is paired with a new ad campaign — "Scout Me In" — designed to appeal to both boys and girls.

"As we enter a new era for our organization, it is important that all youth can see themselves in Scouting in every way possible," Boy Scouts of America chief executive Michael Surbaugh said in a statement. "That is why it is important that the name for our Scouting program for older youth remain consistent with the single name approach used for the Cub Scouts."
