Boy Scouts are dropping the word 'Boy' from flagship program; Girl Scouts shrug


"Boy Scouts," which includes kids from 10 to 17, will become "Scouts BSA" in February in an effort to become less gender specific, now that girls may join the Boy Scouts.


The Boy Scouts of America doubled down Wednesday on its quest to become the scouting organization of choice for boys and girls, announcing it will drop "Boy" from the name of its signature program.

But the decision didn't impress the Girl Scout organization, which noted no new, "girl specific" programming.

“Girl Scouts is the premier leadership development organization for girls,” Sylvia Acevedo, CEO of Girl Scouts of the USA, said in a statement. “We are, and will remain, the first choice for girls and parents."

Both groups, which have been at odds since the Boy Scouts decided to open its doors to girls, have been struggling with declining membership.

The umbrella organization will retain its name, Boy Scouts of America or BSA. The term Cub Scouts, for kids 7-10 years old, is gender neutral and also will go unchanged. Boy Scouts, which includes kids from 10 to 17, will become Scouts BSA in February.

Chief Scout Executive Mike Surbaugh unveiled the group's "Scout Me In" marketing campaign aimed at promoting inclusiveness. “As we enter a new era for our organization, it is important that all youth can see themselves in Scouting in every way possible," Surbaugh said.

Change has been coming quickly to the iconic if shrinking organization. In October, it announced it would provide programs for girls. Several months before that, the group announced it would accept and register transgender youths into its organization.

In 2015, it ended its ban on gay leaders.

Cub Scouts will formally accept girls starting this summer. Surbaugh said more than 3,000 girls nationwide already enrolled in the BSA’s Early Adopter Program and are participating in Cub Scouts before the full launch.

Allowing girls into the organization allows busy families to consolidate programs for their kids, BSA says. Most of the actual Cub packs and Scout troops, however, will be single gender. Girls and boys can work toward the prestigious title of Eagle Scout.

“Cub Scouts is a lot of fun, and now it’s available to all kids,” said Stephen Medlicott, BSA marketing director. “That’s why we love ‘Scout Me In’ — because it speaks to girls and boys and tells them, ‘This is for you. We want you to join!’ ”

Boy Scouts of America claims almost 2.3 million members, down from 2.6 million five years ago. That includes Venturing and Sea Scouting programs, the latter allowing membership up to 21 years of age. In its peak years, BSA had more than 4 million participants.

Adults play a major role in the program: Almost 1 million adult volunteers serve as the backbone of the organization.

It's too early to determine what impact the aggressive BSA effort to recruit girls will have on the Girl Scouts, an organization best known for its lucrative annual cookie sales. The organization, founded two years after Boy Scouts, currently claims a membership of about 1.8 million.

The Girl Scouts list a series of efforts designed to "stay ahead of the pack of youth organizations." That includes 23 new merit badges focusing on outdoors and STEM (science, technology, engineering and math). And last month, the organization unveiled a LinkedIn network aimed tapping a major resource — the group's 50 million alums.

The goal of the network is "to support female advancement in the workforce and help prepare girls for a lifetime of leadership and career success."

Still, the impact of the BSA effort is being felt. One regional leader, Fiona Cummings of Girl Scouts of Northern Illinois, told the Associated Press the BSA’s decision to admit girls is among the factors that have shrunk her council’s youth membership by more than 500 girls so far this year.

She said relations with the Boy Scouts in her region used to be collaborative and now are “very chilly.”



So sick...Liberals ruin EVERYTHING they touch. I made it to Life badge tbh

[rmt]

Note: I did not read this article.

As bou would say, this whole thing is go****n stupid. It's like they're trying to turn boys into girls - ridiculous. I raised 2 boys and a girl - every paper towel tube, stick, gift paper tube became a sword/weapon with the boys. The girl - never once picked up something like that. The boys - unbounding energy - always on the move. The girl - sedate, calm, laid back. What is the US coming to? I say US because the majority of the world probably still views gender the way I did when I was young.

[rmt]

So, what about Girl Scout? Are they letting boys in as members and men in as leaders?

[rmt]

Are they gonna have the boys doing sewing instead of pine derby cars? Oh, those were the days - some boy scout camps are ROUGH - no running water - in FL heat.

If you read it you'll notice that the boy scouts are doing this because of plummeting membership. It's a business decision more than any endorsement of liberal values. Basically they are trying to steal the girl scouts members.

[pgardn]

Girls cant camp or make cars.
And boys can’t patch their torn clothes in the deep jungle.

Its a mess...

Bearing children definitely means no camping.
Plan on Inseminating females? don’t bother sewing.

[DisAsTerBot]

Lol the outrage

The younger generation isn't very interested in building derby cars, camping, etc. Hell MLB is trying to figure out what to do to try and get kids interested in baseball again.

So, why aren't the girl scouts doing these things to begin with, then?

[Chris]

The author of the article speculates on if it's a business decision as does "SnakeBoy" but the quote is quite clear:

Chief Scout Executive Mike Surbaugh unveiled the group's "Scout Me In" marketing campaign aimed at promoting inclusiveness. “As we enter a new era for our organization, it is important that all youth can see themselves in Scouting in every way possible," Surbaugh said.

It's about tolerance and inclusiveness. Endorsement of Liberal values.

They are.

Always wondered why there was girl and boy scouts seperates tbh. Not sure what scouts is all about, went to a meeting couple years ago looking to set up a chapter. Tie knots, camping, fishing, etc?

[Spurminator]

The name change makes perfect sense given the new direction of the Scouts program. If you have issue with them admitting girls that's one thing, but to bemoan political correctness over a non boys-only organization updating its name to reflect that status is silly.

Do you think Burger King should stop selling fries because McDonald's does? Damn, for conservatives you guys sure are all about regulation.

[rmt]

Well, I was heavily involved in scouting - both Boy and Girl (leader and cookie mom for many years). They were back then very different organizations with different feels (girls - more a social club and cliquish while the boys - more skills-based). Dd went all the way from K-12 and got her Gold Award. I can't imagine boys joining our troop. For the boys, even more so - the girls in our troop would NEVER rough it as the boys did at camp - civilized chickee huts for them.

When you have a daughter, you will be perfectly free to send her on a camping trip in the middle of nowhere with a bunch of boys (and their raging hormones) and male leaders (and wherever their predilections lie).

LOL - I'm being informed on school and CHURCH overnighters - don't know what to say if you can't tell the difference between those and your daughter going off in the middle of nowhere learning wilderness skills with a bunch of boy scouts and male leaders.

CHURCH groups also go camping in the middle of nowhere on overnight outings.

What is the difference?

Jesus?

Well, yeah. When did you start having feelings for girls Pavlov?

[Pavlov]

Well, yeah.Why would Jesus make a difference, Chris?

When did you start having feelings for girls Pavlov?I was going to church and scouts regularly at the time. Neither had anything to do with it.

I figured the differences between Christian Church Camp and the Boy Scouts were obvious even to a layman.

That's a cool story Pavlov. When did you start having feelings for girls?

[Pavlov]

I figured the differences between Christian Church Camp and the Boy Scouts were obvious even to a layman.Why don't you explain the difference in regards to the overnight camping trips both organizations undertake?

I'm waiting.

Well hell, lets have women start playing actual baseball, forget softball.

And might as well have them compete with the males in track and tennis and basketball. No more men/women sports. How many women are making out USA teams in anything if they compete vs men?

Women vs men in MMA?

Not that anyone probably cares about the details; but to clarify, Mormons can still join the scouts. They just will no longer institutionally be partnering with them. I heard a couple years back that they may be developing their own program(s), but I don't know where that ended up.

I know Mormons. They are kind of hive minded and they will disown the Scouts as soon as it catches wind.

There's no doubt that this will hit the scouts hard. But if they're gonna screw with their best customer, then that's how it goes.

I give this policy 5-10 years max before they go back to the traditional Boy Scouts, or a new organization takes advantage of the increase in demand and leapfrogs.

Never said such.

Better for the government to fund companies who cover up sexual abuse of children, in this loyal conservative's opinion.

In 1970, how would the BSA find out the dude had been "accused" since there would only be a record with an arrest/conviction and it was all decentralized paper records.

[Pavlov]

In 1970, how would the BSA find out the dude had been "accused" since there would only be a record with an arrest/conviction and it was all decentralized paper records.Seems the BSA had been centralizing their own records for 50 years by then


According to the lawsuit, BSA secretly removed scoutmasters for sexually abusive behavior starting in the 1940s, with one scoutmaster being removed every three days during the 1970s, when the abuse alleged in the suit occurred. Beginning in 1919, the group allegedly maintained secret “red files” of men who were ineligible to volunteer due to their pedophilic behavior, giving the BSA information on how abuse occurred and that previously banned leaders were trying to re-enter troops in other locations.

At least 1,200 red files were created between 1965 and 1985 and at least 50 to 60 leaders were removed per year between 1920 and 1935 for abusive behavior. In Connecticut, at least 26 scoutmasters were placed in BSA’s perversion files between 1960 and 1985, including leaders under the two councils named in the troop, the suit said.

The suit alleges BSA knew scouting attracted child molesters and despite knowing about abusive leaders, did nothing to alter the program and warn families and scouts involved. It also claims BSA destroyed many of the ineligible volunteer files.

Lawsuit alleges Boy Scouts failed to stop hundreds of sex abuse claims

Lawyers representing nearly 800 former Boy Scouts have filed a lawsuit alleging the youth organisation failed to prevent hundreds of sex abuse cases.

The lawsuit identifies 350 abusers who were not listed in Boy Scouts of America (BSA) files,

claiming the group was negligent in vetting volunteers.
The suit's plaintiff, only identified as SD, alleges a scout leader assaulted him "hundreds" of times in the 1970s.

The Scouts have apologised :lol and said reporting procedures have changed. :lol

Sound like Repug shitbag Gym Jordan would have been a great look-the-other-way Scout Troop Master, or maybe Catholic Bishop.

Balogna! They're looking for a check.

[Chris]

Balogna! They're looking for a check.

Let us proceed...

[Pavlov]

Let us proceed...Proceed where? The BSA admitted they didn't report enough sex offenses back then.

Your appetite for finding and punishing pedophiles has disappeared. What happened?
