On its 115th anniversary, the Boy Scouts of America officially rebranded to ‘Scouting America’, reflecting, it claimed, a commitment to “inclusivity and evolving youth needs”.
The change follows policy updates allowing girls to join in 2018 and lifting bans on gay youth and leaders in the previous decade.
The organisation has seen a slight increase in membership, with over 15,000 new scouts joining, bringing total membership to more than 1 million.
Despite the name change, Scouting America maintains its mission “to prepare young people for ethical and moral decision-making by instilling the values of the Scout Oath and Law.”

This is news? The Boy Scout movement has been rife with Poofs as long as I can remember and I’m nearly 80!
I was a scout in late 1960’s. No way I’d encourage anyone to sign up nowadays!
Keep your kids away from this mob.
