On February 1st, 2019 – the
Boy Scouts of America
opened their doors to include female scouts. In a bold move and now called Scouting BSA, female scout troupes are now comprised of all boys or all girls and provide the wilderness experiences for both sexes.

But – did you know that for more than 50 years, Boy Scouts of America have included girls in various programs? Not only that, but Darin Steindl from Boy Scouts of America will tell you that young women have been a part of the history of scouting since it began…they just never got the badge.
Younger siblings followed around their brothers and enjoyed the same activities, but now in 2019, they can be sanctioned members who receive all the accolades their male counterparts do.
More than 400 girls in North Dakota and well over 12,000 nationwide have already signed up and are scouting under the new brand.
From s’mores to life saving first aid, this new generation of community engagers will be blazing new trails as the
Boy Scouts of America
continue to evolve.
