The Boy Scouts Rebranding as Scouting America: An Inclusive Future

When we reflect on our youth, many of us have fond memories of our time in the scouts. Back then, there were separate Boy Scouts and Girl Scouts. However, times are changing, and the organization at the center of it all is evolving.

After over a century of being known as The Boy Scouts of America, the organization has decided to rebrand. Going forward, they will be known as Scouting America. While this may seem like a significant departure from their original plan, it’s a change they believe is necessary.

In recent years, The Boy Scouts have been opening their doors to include both boys and girls, as well as gay youths. This decision, along with financial challenges, sexual abuse allegations, and declining membership, prompted them to take action. The president and CEO, Roger Krone, expressed the desire for all youth in America to feel genuinely welcome in their programs for the next 100 years.

The organization is hoping that this rebranding will pave the way for new growth and attract a new generation of scouts. Their commitment to upholding core values remains strong. If all goes according to plan, on February 8, 2025, their 115th birthday, the transition to Scouting America will be official.

 

Since allowing gay youth to join in 2013 and more recently opening their doors to girls, The Boy Scouts have seen over 6,000 girls become Eagle Scouts. This shows the positive impact of inclusivity within the organization.

While the name change has faced criticism, including from Senator Ted Cruz of Texas, The Boy Scouts believe it is a necessary step for the future. They are determined to navigate these challenging times and continue to make scouting an enriching experience for all.
