The Boy Scouts of America announced Tuesday that it would no longer be known under that name in order to become more inclusive.
The organization will be known as Scouting America.
The scouts have been battered by scandal related to thousands of sexual assault claims and a massive $2.4 billion bankruptcy reorganization in the wake of a legal settlement with victims.
“In the next 100 years we want any youth in America to feel very, very welcome to come into our programs,” said Boy Scouts of America president and CEO Roger Krone to the Associated Press.
