Boy Scouts of America name change becomes official in effort to be more 'inclusive'

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.

Regardless of who brought up the rear, however, the result was the same: no more Boy Scouts; it’s surprising they lasted as long as they did.
