Boy Scouts changing its name to reflect DEI

Boy Scouts of America will change its name to Scouting America in an effort to be more inclusive

The Boy Scouts of America is changing its name for the first time in its 114-year history and will become Scouting America.

It’s a significant shift as the organization emerges from bankruptcy following a flood of sexual abuse claims and seeks to focus on inclusion.

The organization steeped in tradition has made seismic changes after decades of turmoil, from finally allowing gay youth to welcoming girls throughout its ranks. With an eye on increasing flagging membership numbers, the Irving, Texas-based organization announced the name change Tuesday at its annual meeting in Florida.

Disgusting. I wish DeSantis would ban this stuff in Florida.

Ban the Boy Scouts?

Do Republicans want to ban everything that they don't agree with? If they don't like it, that means no one can enjoy it?

@9:24...just pointed out that liberals want to change everything to suit their political views..."everything that they don't agree with."
We are not calling on a ban--that was a commenter above...just pointing out that liberals, once again, have just ruined this time a 114 year institution.
They need to recognize there are two genders...period!
