The Boy Scouts of America has announced that it’s rebranding to Scouting America in the name of diversity and inclusion, as it emerges from bankruptcy following a flood of sexual abuse claims.

While the rebrand announcement comes on the fifth anniversary of allowing girls into its flagship boys-only program, the name change won’t go into effect until Feb. 8, 2025, the organization’s 115th anniversary.
