No, this isn't satire.
The Boy Scouts are rebranding to be more "inclusive."
Yes, for the first time in its 114-year history the organization is changing its name. And let's be honest, they needed to do a rebrand after their bankruptcy and the whole sexual predator pedophile thing.
(Though we'll all remember that forever, I guarantee it.)
I wasn't kidding about the inclusion, in case you haven't picked up on the fact that this is a site that reports real news.
The organization steeped in tradition has made seismic changes after decades of turmoil, from finally allowing gay youth to welcoming girls throughout its ranks. With an eye on increasing flagging membership numbers, the Irving, Texas-based organization announced the name change Tuesday at its annual meeting in Florida …
The organization began allowing gay youth in 2013 and ended a blanket ban on gay adult leaders in 2015. In 2017, it made the historic announcement that girls would be accepted as Cub Scouts as of 2018 and into the flagship Boy Scout program — renamed Scouts BSA — in 2019.
Yeah, just remove the "boy" and everything is better and more inclusive!
In essence, the Boy Scouts are gay now (always have been if you count the pedophile stuff), so you'll just want to keep that in mind.
Here's the CEO talking about bringing your "authentic self" to the Scouts.
You'll have to wait until February of 2025 for the Boy Scouts to officially make the name change, but for the sake of forgetting that whole scandal thing, they'd like you to start using the new name now so they can stop the mass exodus of people leaving.
It was fun while it lasted.
RIP, Boy Scouts!
