The Boy Scouts of America (BSA) is changing its name for the first time in its 108-year history.
The scouting organization, originally designed for boys ages 11-17, will be called Scouts: BSA starting in February, The Associated Press reported.
The move to a gender-neutral name arrives on the heels of the organizations decision to accept female members next year.
We wanted to land on something that evokes the past but also conveys the inclusive nature of the program going forward, Surbaugh said.
Were trying to find the right way to say were here for both young men and young women.

Since boys aren’t different than girls, I’d like to propose that all boys have a penectomy before 2020. /sarc
Because it was an adverb...................
Reason #43,156 that I’m glad I left BSA January 1, 2014.
We also joined Trail Life USA January 1, 2014
BSA leadership is so fixated on being “relevant” that they completely forgot the reason for their existence. The boys.

With girls joining the ranks, Boy Scouts plan a name change
Glad I left when they let the gays take over.
The BS will now stand for something else.

The BSA is another case of adults trying to live vicariously through their children to their children’s determent. They injected homosexual politics to destroy the BSA, which is what the liberals wanted all along and we all said so.

Does the stupidity ever end?
Discriminatory, much?
Regards,
Has everyone lost their minds? Girls have their own organization called Girl Scouts.
Just save some time and call it the LGBTQIAPKXYZ Scouts of the World.
Cries to have the term “BSA” removed from “Scouts: BSA” in...3, 2, 1...
There are a lot of families at the district level in Boy Scouts where I’m at that are excited to get their girls out of girl scouts.
So...where do boys now go to be what boys can be without girls around? Can’t take a good hard Okie piss against a tree with girls around. Have to behave differently with girls around, I don’t care what anyone says. This is taking a great part of growing up away from boys.
Let the barbs fly!
It's sexist and exclusionary.
Girls are next to go. Theyll call them LGQTB Cookies
I assume this means there will not be “boy scouts” nor “girl scouts”, but just “scouts”.
It was a major part of the culture of the US back in the 50’s and 60’s. I don’t know that all that many people are involved any more anyway. I could be wrong, but I see it as a shadow of what it once was.
I'm surprised they haven't already changed it to "Womyn".
