https://abcnews.go.com/GMA/News/boy-sco ... d=54878120Boy Scouts of America is now dropping the boy from its name and will now be known as Scouts BSA. This change was caused because the boy scouts have now decided to allow girls to join their organization.
This decision has caused a lot of out cry across the internet, with some of it actually coming from the Girl Scouts of America.
What are your thoughts on this new change?

If they're letting girls in they might as well change the name.
Now we just need to force the Girl Scouts to drop "Scouts" from their name to avoid confusion...
Also OP, what are your thoughts?

Girl Scouts has stated that they have no intentions of changing their name.
I personally am fine with it. The Girl Scouts negative response to the change though has left a sour taste in my mouth though.

Girl Scouts are a cult and a conspiracy who fund corrupt NWO politicians with their drug money, tbf. They should just be disbanded altogether.

Who in the boy scouts decided this?
Is it by any chance similar to student unions in the UK who claim legitimacy as representatives with 5% turnouts?

As an Eagle Scout, I am completely and utterly okay with this.

I saw this, my immediate reaction was “Utter bullshit.” They might as well be called the Bull Shit of America. There’s no where for boys to be boys anywhere nowadays I guess.....

Yes, now when you join the Scouts of America the first thing they do is chemically castrate you so you can't be a boy anymore.

So in other words they're bringing their organisation into line with the rest of the world.

And they're reflecting their own standards of who can join.

I believe it is very similar to that. I believe it was a few of the major boy scout leaders who made a decision for the group, although they were most likely voted into their position by those who chose to vote.

Did you know Robert Baden Powell was inspired to create Boy Scouts by Hitler’s Youth (a group of children Hitler used to spread Nazi propaganda, basically)?

...Would be a bit hard for him to do that considering he started the organisation about forty years before the Nazis came to power.

The historic youth organization announced today that their program for children 11 to 17 years old will be known as "Scouts BSA," starting in February 2019. Part of the reason for the change is that now girls will be invited to join the older kids' group -- and have the opportunity to advance to the highest rank, Eagle Scout.
The parent organization name will remain the Boy Scouts of America and the Cub Scouts program will keep its title, as well.
Maybe change the name of your parent organisation as well, guys. Just a thought.

Well the nazis May be in power now, but most attribute the 1930s to the creation of anti-semitism.

BULL. The Boy Scouts were founded in 1910, the Hitler Youth was founded in 1922. At least fucking Google next time.

A fair point, but a step is still a step.
