The Boy Scouts are forever gone (revolution, leader, program, claims)

And just like that, the Boy Scouts are no more.

The Boy Scouts aren't gone. They just have a different name. Stop with the hysteria.

I haven't heard of this, but it is not surprising.

Are the Girl Scouts going to do the same thing? Are they combining them under this 'Scouting America" thing?

Another one bites the dust...

Should have named it They/Them Scouts or just “Them Scoutz” to appeal to current norms and traditions.

Do they now take anyone who identifies as a boy or are they just gender neutral.

If that the case then I should imagine a lot of NAMBLA members will be submitting their membership to Scouting America and identifying as young boys.

Seems like they have been functionally gone for awhile... but finally changed the name.

Boy Scouts of America changing name to more inclusive Scouting America after years of woes

The organization began allowing gay youth in 2013 and ended a blanket ban on gay adult leaders in 2015. In 2017, it made the historic announcement that girls would be accepted as Cub Scouts as of 2018 and into the flagship Boy Scout program — renamed Scouts BSA — in 2019.

There were nearly 1,000 young women in the inaugural class of female Eagle Scouts in 2021, including Selby Chipman. The all-girls troop she was a founding member of in her hometown of Oak Ridge, North Carolina, has grown from five girls to nearly 50, and she thinks the name change will encourage even more girls to realize they can join.

Wait - Are the Girl Scouts still a thing?

The move by the Boy Scouts to accept girls throughout their ranks strained a bond with the Girl Scouts of the USA, which sued, saying it created marketplace confusion and damaged their recruitment efforts. They reached a settlement agreement after a judge rejected those claims, saying both groups are free to use words like “scouts” and “scouting.”

As is the case with rampant woke-ism... women and children hardest hit.

the organization currently services just over 1 million youths, including more than 176,000 girls and young women.

The Boy Scouts organization is gone.

Terrifying. Most scouting organizations worldwide went co-ed in the 1980s. Seems to have worked out OK.

Scouting America sounds like a welcoming organization. Hopefully they're off to a good start with the changes.

Should rename them the Mao Scouts as representative of their cultural revolution
