The Boy Scouts of America, an organization with a 114-year history, is changing its name to Scouting America in an effort to be more inclusive.
This move comes after the organization faced numerous sexual abuse claims and aims to focus on inclusivity moving forward.
The announcement was made at the annual meeting in Florida, with the president and CEO expressing the organization's goal to make any youth in America feel welcome in their programs. The name change is seen as a way to break down traditional gender barriers and encourage more girls to realize they can join the scouting programs. The name change to Scouting America signifies a new chapter for the organization.
By embracing inclusivity and encouraging all youth in America to join their programs, Scouting America aims to build a stronger, more diverse community of scouts.
