Another positive step in the right direction for an organization rife with brokenness. There's a lot I don't like about the organization, but this is something a love--a scouting organization open to young women and the lgbtq community. The next step is being inclusive of nonreligious agnostic and atheist youth and leaders. As well as ending the cultural appropriation of Native American peoples.

May this organization continue to build up youth, never allow further violence against youth, and make amends for all the wrongs. There's a lot of good that comes out of organizations like this and I won't discount it even though it's riddled with a dark history.

Why not just merge boy and girl scouts into boys and girls scouts?

Does anyone else think "scouts of America" would have rolled off the tongue a lot better than "scouting America"

The sad part about this is that The Girl Scouts has always been an amazing organization that's done great things for girls and society, but didn't get all of the favorable treatment that the boys did from the government. Now their playing field is going to be even more unlevel.

Seems a little silly and hypocritical to do this while leaving the girls scouts the way it is.

They need to merge them otherwise this makes no sense.
