Cub Scouts Welcoming Girls, Boy Scouts Will Change Its Name To Scouts BSA

The iconic Cub Scouts program, intended for children aged five to ten, is about to undergo a change thanks to its new “Scout Me In” initiative, which will welcome girls into it.

BOY SCOUTS WILL SOON WELCOME GIRLS

Boy Scouts of America, or BSA, made the announcement on May 2. This paradigm shift is intended to show “what it’s like to be a Scout from a kid’s point of view,” according to the press release.

“Cub Scouts is a lot of fun, and now it’s available to all kids,” said Stephen Medlicott, Boy Scouts of America’s National Marketing Group Director, said in a statement. “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!'”

BSA’s decision has been met with skepticism and resistance on social media, with some expressing how this change is fundamentally counterintuitive to the nature of the Boy Scouts:

Others, however, have either praised the Boy Scouts’ move or explained that it’s a result of maintaining a healthy amount of memberships:
