Boy Scouts Planning Name Change to Welcome Girls
The Boy Scouts of America may not have the Thin Mints and Samoas, but they do get points for opening their doors to both boys and girls. For the past 108 years, their program for 11- to 17-year-olds has been known as the “Boy Scouts.” But they’re changing it to just “Scouts BSA” to signal that girls are welcome to join as well.
