One organization that didn’t seem to get the memo that the mood has drastically changed in this country is the Boy Scouts—excuse me, “Scouting America.” Give me a break. In early February, they decided that after 115 years, they needed a new name in an effort toward “inclusivity.”
Nine months after announcing a name change was coming, the Boy Scouts of America (BSA) on Saturday officially changed its name in an attempt to “meet the evolving needs of young people.”
The organization adopted the new name, Scouting America, on its 115th anniversary, “marking a pivotal moment in the organization’s journey,” according to a statement released Saturday.

The tweet continues:
[Former Ohio Democratic Congressman] Tim Ryan: “This is targeted towards young boys, because young boys are different from young girls.”
[NY Times opinion columnist] Pamela Paul: “I understand why girls would want to be in the girl scouts: It’s a lot more fun.
The boy scouts are learning skills, building fires, and going camping.”
Maher: “Institute that curriculum in the girl scouts. This is kind of thing that gets Trump elected.”
Kid Rock: “We lost a good portion of a few generations of men who just turned into complete fucking pussies.”
‘This is kind of thing that gets Trump elected’
Never change, Democrats.
