Boy Scouts of America, the parent organization of the Boy Scouts
program, made the announcement Wednesday. Though the decision to toss
“Boy” aside was considered controversial by some, Chief Scout Executive
Mike Surbaugh said the new name came about after an “incredibly fun”
deliberation. “We wanted to land on something that evokes the past but also
conveys the inclusive nature of the program going forward,” he said.
“We’re trying to find the right way to say we’re here for both young men
and young women.” The name change is expected to take effect next February. Boy Scouts
of America and Cub Scouts will keep their titles. Cub Scouts – the
program for 7- to 10-year-olds – has already started to admit girls. The 11- to 17-year-olds who join Scouts BSA will likely start
referring to themselves as scouts without a gender modifier, Surbaugh
said. The program will have separate units for boys and girls, which
Surbaugh said should alleviate concerns that girls joining the new
program might be at a disadvantage in seeking leadership roles.
