As Boy Scouts drop 'boys' from name, Girl Scouts of course, remain unchanged
|
[Chicago Tribune] The Boy Scouts of America may be taking the "boy" out of their name to accommodate girls, but the Girl Scouts are emphasizing the "girl" in their name.
Sir Baden-Powell spins in his grave.
Both groups tried to put the best light Wednesday on the announcement that Boy Scouts of America will change its moniker next year to Scouts BSA, as part of its new plan to let girls join.
Cate Readling leads an Oak Park Cub Scout den of four girls who are among the first in the Chicago area to join the Boy Scout organization. She said the name change is nothing new to her.
With girls having participated for years in certain Boy Scouts programs, Readling said she and others already called boys and girls alike the non-gender specific "scouts."
"I’ve encountered girls who wanted to do Cub Scouts, and girls who wanted to do Girl Scouts," she said. "All girls should have more choice."
