The Boy Scouts of America (BSA) announced it will change its name to better reflect its evolving mission and commitment to inclusivity. Founded in 1910, the organization has long symbolized outdoor adventure, leadership, and community service. Facing challenges like declining membership and societal shifts around gender inclusion, the BSA has decided to adopt a more inclusive identity. Although the new name has not yet been revealed, it is expected to incorporate gender-neutral and diverse terms.
Alongside the name change, the organization plans to allow girls to participate in all programs, expand membership to include youth of all gender identities, and update uniforms and branding to be more inclusive. These steps aim to remove barriers and make the organization accessible to all families. The move has received mixed reactions—supporters see it as a positive step toward inclusion, while critics worry it may affect the organization’s traditions.
Leadership emphasizes that these changes build on the organization’s core values of integrity, leadership, and service, ensuring relevance for future generations. The transition will happen gradually, with guidance for troops and local councils, and campaigns to inform the public.
This evolution reflects broader societal shifts and sets a precedent for other youth organizations to adapt toward diversity and equality.
