The Boy Scouts of America, now known as Scouting America, opted for a name change after being out of touch with the changing sentiments in the country. This decision came after 115 years, with the aim of being more inclusive.
After nine months of anticipation, the BSA, now Scouting America, officially made the name change to better cater to the changing needs of young individuals. They believe this move is crucial in adapting to the evolving requirements of the youth.
On its 115th anniversary, the organization unveiled its new identity as Scouting America, deeming it a significant milestone in their journey. This rebranding effort signifies a pivotal moment for the organization as it moves forward.

The tweet continues:
[Former Ohio Democratic Congressman] Tim Ryan: “This is targeted towards young boys, because young boys are different from young girls.”
[NY Times opinion columnist] Pamela Paul: “I understand why girls would want to be in the girl scouts: It’s a lot more fun.
The boy scouts are learning skills, building fires, and going camping.”
Maher: “Institute that curriculum in the girl scouts. This is kind of thing that gets Trump elected.”
Kid Rock: “We lost a good portion of a few generations of men who just turned into complete fucking pussies.”
‘This is kind of thing that gets Trump elected’
Never change, Democrats.
