Drudge Retort: The Other Side of the News
Sunday, February 09, 2025

Boy Scouts of America, as it has been known for 115 years, is now officially Scouting America. The name change went into effect on Saturday. The organization announced the name change last spring, almost exactly one year after emerging from a three-year bankruptcy tied to the largest child sex abuse case involving a national organization in U.S. history. The name change coincides with the organization's aim to be more inclusive ' a little more than five years after girls were permitted to join Cub Scouts and Boy Scouts in 2018 and 2019, respectively. The Boy Scouts program, open to girls and boys ages 11-17, dropped "Boy" from its name in 2018, resulting in Scouts BSA. The most recent name change serves as a rebrand for the national umbrella organization, which has not been done since the organization's founding in 1910.
