The answer is yes, Scouts are unisex.
The Boy Scouts of America (BSA) and Girl Scouts of the USA (GSUSA) have both evolved to become more inclusive and gender-neutral.
BSA's Changes
- In 2017, the BSA changed its name to Scouts BSA and began allowing girls to join.
- This change allows both boys and girls to participate in the same programs, activities, and earn the same ranks, including Eagle Scout.
GSUSA's Changes
- While Girl Scouts of the USA has always been for girls, they have also become more inclusive by:
- Welcoming transgender girls.
- Providing more opportunities for girls to explore STEM fields.
- Focusing on leadership development for all girls.
Continued Evolution
- Scouts BSA and GSUSA continue to evolve to meet the needs of today's youth.
- They are committed to providing a safe, inclusive, and enriching experience for all Scouts.
