NEW YORK (AP) — For 108 years, the Boy Scouts of America’s flagship program has been known simply as the Boy Scouts. With girls soon entering the ranks, the group says that iconic name will change.

The organization on Wednesday announced a new name for its Boy Scouts program: Scouts BSA. The change will take effect next February.

“We wanted to land on something that evokes the past but also conveys the inclusive nature of the program going forward,” said Chief Scout Executive Mike Surbaugh. “We’re trying to find the right way to say we’re here for both young men and young women.”

I think they should drop the "A" at the end of the name. But that's just me.

But I am sure that you realize that no two of us are equal, unless identical siblings--and even there there will always be differences based on separate experience.

Efforts to trivialize the profound--and absolutely essential--differences between boys & girls--the survival necessary differences--reflect a disturbing compulsion, which can only aggravate any problem. (See Feminist War On Love & Reason.)

This change in direction is not enlightenment, it is rather evidence of a deteriorating moral compass among the players, who have let themselves be cowed by the compulsion driven.

To be truly inclusive and diverse they should change the name to Scouts LGBTQPP.
