The Boy Scouts of America made history today by unveiling the new “Scout Me In” campaign that features girls, as well as boys, in our iconic Cub Scout program for the first time. Starting this summer, all kids are invited to say, “Scout Me In,” as they join the fun, adventure and character-building opportunities found in Cub Scouts.

As we enter a new era for our organization, it is important that all youth can see themselves in Scouting in every way possible. That is why we’re proud to announce that Scouts BSA is the new name for the Boy Scout program. Scouts BSA perfectly represents the new, inclusive program for older Scouts that the Boy Scouts of America is proud to offer. Starting in February 2019, Scouts BSA, will continue to offer Scouting in single-gender troops, through which Scouts – boys and girls – can work to earn the Eagle Scout rank. The organization name will continue to be Boy Scouts of America.
