Boy Scouts of America name change becomes official in effort to be more 'inclusive'
Fox News ^ | February 8, 2025 | Alexandra Koch

The organization officially changed its name on Saturday to Scouting America

Nine months after announcing a name change was coming, the Boy Scouts of America (BSA) on Saturday officially changed its name in an attempt to "meet the evolving needs of young people."

The organization adopted the new name, Scouting America, on its 115th anniversary, "marking a pivotal moment in the organization’s journey," according to a statement released Saturday.

The shift comes after a recent policy change in 2018, allowing girls to join the program. The organization began allowing gay youth in 2013 and ended a blanket ban on gay adult leaders in 2015.

Trump's executive order did not go far enough. It only prohibited boys from participating in girls' sports. Not vice versa.

People of both genders need spaces where they can be free from the interference of the opposite sex.

"Let boys be boys" has been transformed into "let girls be boys too, or else!"

So sad what has happened to the once great Boy Scouts of America.

Eagle Scout 1992. My medal and badge are on display in a shadow box on my living room wall.

I also used to carry my Eagle card in my wallet. That was taken out on the day that the Boy Scouts announced they were letting homosexuals become leaders.

I am proud of my achieving Eagle. But I grieve about what the organization has become. This is not the Scouts that I wanted to be part of as a young child.

The Boy Scouts are apparently tone deaf. The country is headed in the opposite direction that they are.

the commie left are satanic at their core. That is why they take extreme delight at defiling and corrupting all that is decent and pure.... such as disney, boy scouts, most churches, etc.

Cut federal funding (if any).

Start something new, but like the old Boy Scouts.

Enough of this stupid faggotry.

I think the Trail Scouts are trying to be exactly that.

They forgot what their purpose was, it wasn’t about kids, it was about boys.

Someone else should now reclaim the name, "Boy Scouts of America", and bring back what it once was.

1968, in Japan. I will tell other Eagles, otherwise not. If I were physically well, I would work with Trail Life.

Scouting needs a Big Balls to dig out all the corruption that has to be there.

Oh, and after the name is reclaimed, put the HQ in a SOLID red state, like Oklahoma.

It’s now the SA, and they wear brown shirts.

Did anyone think this through?

Adjusted. For instance, they teach how to properly dispose of sanitary napkins on the trail.

The BSA is a corporation chartered by the Congress. They figure that they couldn’t get a new charter out of Congress so Boy Scouts of America isstill the name of the organization “dba Scouting America.”

Nothing is more exclusive than individuals and organizations who demand that everyone else adopt their version of being “inclusive”.

Eagle Scout 1970 Nothing but fond memories and life lessons. Scoutmasters were WW2, Korea, and Viet Name vets. Excellent role models.
