The Boy Scouts of America announced today that it will rebrand itself as Scouting America to be more welcoming. It’s been five years since the organization first admitted girls into their Scouts BSA program, and research indicates that co-ed activities can have more benefits for participants.
Since their inclusion in the programs, more than 6,000 young women have achieved Eagle Scout status, the highest rank within Scouts BSA. Approximately 60,000 scouts reach this rank each year, highlighting that women are still a tiny minority.
