Boy Scouts to drop ‘Boy’ from name
The Hill ^ | 05/02/18 | Aris Folley

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 organization’s 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.

“We’re trying to find the right way to say we’re here for both young men and young women.”

Let me guess - they will soon change the name to a more accurate description of their present behavior ... NAMBLA - North American Man Boy Love Association.

Lay this at the feet of that arrogant and self-serving “MO-RON,” Rex Tillerson. Because he is the a$$hole who imposed faggotry on the once honorable BSA. Effing greasy Texas turd that he is.

“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.”

That’s right!

We will have women with the morals of Boy Scouts as opposes to women infected with the radical feminism of the Girl Scouts.

If Congress had any backbone, they would revoke the BSA’s charter and give one to Trail Life USA.

How stupid. I’m glad that I’m not affiliated with this organization as it exists today. I’m an Eagle Scout, by the way.

This is taking a great part of growing up away from boys.

That's the idea. Masculinity is evil, dontchaknow.

I suggest the new name be GSA - Godless Scouts of America.

And credit Rex Tillerson for his instrumental role in ruining the Boy Scouts.

How is opening an organization that involves young boys in close proximity to open homosexuals in the former’s best interest?

Girls being selected for the Oder Of The Arrow will not fly.

Getting a girl to be mute for two days; do not see that as possible.

So then the Organization know as "The Girl Scouts" is no longer needed. Disband them immediately.

Good Lord - my father who was a District Executive for BSA in the 60'& 70's is rolling over in his grave.....

I notice that they also dropped “America” from their name.

Why not just make a new organization called "LGBTQIAPK Scouts" and let the Boy Scouts continue as founded?

Oh, yes, because the purpose is the kill the Boy Scouts.
