Boy Scouts name change

The Boy Scouts of America (BSA) has announced that it will be changing its name to Scouts BSA. The change is part of a larger effort to make the organization more inclusive of girls and boys. The new name will take effect on February 1, 2019. Scouts BSA will offer youth programs for ages 5 to 21. The programs will continue to offer the same values and experiences that have been part of the Boy Scouts for over 100 years.

The BSA has been considering a name change for several years. In 2017, the organization voted to allow girls to join the Cub Scouts program, and in 2018, it voted to allow girls to join the Boy Scouts program. The name change is a natural next step in the organization's evolution.

The new name, Scouts BSA, is designed to be inclusive of all youth members. It reflects the organization's commitment to providing a safe and welcoming environment for all young people.

The BSA is one of the oldest and largest youth organizations in the United States. It has been a part of American culture for over 100 years. The name change is a significant moment in the organization's history. It is a sign that the BSA is committed to evolving and meeting the needs of today's youth.

The name change has been met with mixed reactions. Some people are excited about the change, while others are more skeptical. However, the BSA is confident that the new name will help to make the organization more welcoming and inclusive for all youth.
